By Roger Straw, Thursday, June 3, 2021

Solano County COVID-19 Dashboard – SUMMARY:

Solano County reported 39 new COVID cases today.  This week’s incredible increase of 104 new cases from Vacaville is still unclear.  Fairfield Daily Republic reporter Glen Faison wrote, “Solano County officials did not respond prior to deadline to a request for information about the 82 new cases reported in Vacaville.”  BenIndy Editor: I suspect the County is playing “catch-up” with previously-unreported cases from Vacaville – conveniently just after getting State approval to move to the less restrictive orange tier.  Something doesn’t smell right here.  Monthly: We saw 1,288 new cases in April, an average of 43 per day.  In May, Solano reported 920 new cases, an average of 30 per day.  Today, 39.

Solano County also reported no new COVID deaths today, a total of 243 deaths here since the pandemic began.

SOLANO NOW IN ORANGE TIER – Solano County was finally moved into the orange tier this week, the last Bay Area County to leave the red tier.  See details on remaining restrictions and new freedoms in the County’s press release, also in the account of the Vallejo Times-Herald.

JUNE 15 RE-OPENING – Solano County Public Health highlighted on its dashboard last week that the State of California will discontinue COVID tier assignments on June 15.  The County references a thorough but outdated California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announcement of April 4, 2021.  A more current but less detailed CDPH announcement is “Beyond the Blueprint for Industry and Business Sectors – Effective June 15.”  The ending of the State’s tier system is being hailed as a return to normal, but it falls short of that for Mega Events (gatherings of crowds greater than 5,000 [indoors] and 10,000 [outdoors]).  And… ALL of us are advised to get vaccinated and continue to take precautions when sharing indoors air with others who may or may not be vaccinated.

MASKS – Governor’s update: “California will align its mask guidance with CDC’s on June 15, 2021.  California will keep existing mask guidance in place until June 15 when it aims to fully reopen the economy. After that, the state plans to allow fully-vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. You will still have the option to wear a mask if you choose.”  Governor’s update based on a May 3 CDPH guidance.

Solano’s Active cases are now at 218, down from yesterday’s 229.  Our percent positivity rate fell slightly today from 10.4% to 10.2%.

>> The virus is still active here.  Stay safe, get vaccinated, wear a mask in crowds and social distance if you’re not sure who’s vaccinated!  We will get through this together.

Solano County reports 32 new infections today, and 4 new deaths.  Stay safe, and remember…

Solano County COVID-19 Dashboard – SUMMARY:

Solano County reported 32 new COVID cases today adding to yesterday’s 43 new cases.  We saw 1,288 new cases in April, an average of 43 per day.  In the first 28 days of May, Solano reported 816 new cases, an average of 29 per day.

Solano County also reported 4 new COVID deaths today, a total of 238 deaths here since the pandemic began.  The four reported today were all seniors over 65 years of age.

JUNE 15 RE-OPENING – Solano County Public Health highlighted on its dashboard this week that the State of California will discontinue COVID tier assignments on June 15.  The County references a thorough but outdated California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announcement of April 4, 2021.  A more current but less detailed CDPH announcement is “Beyond the Blueprint for Industry and Business Sectors – Effective June 15.”  The ending of the State’s tier system is being hailed as a return to normal, but it falls short of that for Mega Events (gatherings of crowds greater than 5,000 [indoors] and 10,000 [outdoors]).  And… ALL of us are advised to get vaccinated and continue to take precautions when sharing indoors air with others who may or may not be vaccinated.

RED TIER / ORANGE TIER – Solano County remains in the red tier, unlike all other Bay Area counties which have moved into less restrictive tiers.  The Sacramento Bee reported on the State’s tier update on Tuesday, “Just eight counties remain in red.  Half of them — Sacramento, Nevada, San Joaquin and Solano — came in below six cases per 100,000 and may therefore move to orange next week if their rates hold below that mark. The other four — Del Norte, Shasta, Stanislaus and Yuba — came in over the threshold.”  (Note that Solano Public Health Department does not include ‘cases per 100,000’ in it’s daily update, and it’s only one of several metrics the State uses in determining tier assignments.  Stay tuned….)

MASKS – Governor’s update: “California will align its mask guidance with CDC’s on June 15, 2021.  California will keep existing mask guidance in place until June 15 when it aims to fully reopen the economy. After that, the state plans to allow fully-vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. You will still have the option to wear a mask if you choose.”  Governor’s update based on a May 3 CDPH guidance.

Solano’s Active cases are now at 181 down slightly from yesterday’s 184.  Our percent positivity rate rose today from 4.4% to 4.9%.
