Solano County COVID-19 Dashboard – SUMMARY:

On May 3, Solano County reported 111 new COVID cases, an average of 37 per day over the 3-day weekend.  We saw 1,288 new cases in April, an average of 43 per day.  Reports are that Solano will not be joining all other Bay Area counties in the State’s orange tier anytime soon.  Solano’s Active cases went down today, falling from 362 to 321.  Our percent positivity rate rose dramatically today, from 5.9% to 8.2%, the first time we’ve been over 6.7% since Feb. 22.

Cases among children and youth have increased alarmingly

21% 56% 14% 10% 100%

COMPARE TODAY (above) WITH PERCENTAGES SINCE LAST SUMMER (below).  Since last June, cases among children and youths 0-17 years of age have increased dramatically as a percentage of total cases.  This chart shows the changes among age groups over the past 11 months.

5/3/21 12.2% 55.4% 20.6% 11.9%
Hospitalizations – very little information…

The Solano County COVID dashboard Summary tab only shows active hospitalizations for the current day (23 today, see image at top of page).  This number represents the total currently hospitalized after yesterday’s admissions and discharges.  Little can be learned from this about the accumulated total of hospitalizations since the outbreak began.

But on the Demographics tab of the County dashboard, the County “occasionally” updates the accumulated total of hospitalizations by age group.  These numbers have not been updated since early April, so it isn’t possible to determine whether there has been an increasing number of hospitalizations among our children and young adults.  I have asked Public Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas for an update on these numbers, and he replied by email on 4/29 that he “believes” his staff will update these numbers soon, and “will double check.”  But no update as yet.  So age group hospitalization totals on the dashboard remain old and unchanged:

Age 18-49		 Hospitalizations
Age 50-64		 Hospitalizations

>> The virus is still on the move here.  Stay safe, get vaccinated, wear a mask and social distance!  We will get through this together.
