Case rates & hospitalizations continue to increase
Sonoma County is experiencing COVID-related cases and hospitalizations at the highest rates since February of this year. The County’s case rate increased this week to 19 new daily cases per 100,000 (up from 17.9), a test positivity rate of 7.7 percent (up from 6.5 ), and an equity metric positivity rate of 7.7 percent (down from 8.7).
County Health officials say this increase in cases coincides with the arrival of the Delta variant which appears to be 50 percent more contagious than the Alpha variant, which is believed to be at least 50 percent more contagious than the original coronavirus.

Increased testing opportunities in Sonoma County
The demand for pop-up COVID-19 testing has significantly increased in the past weeks. Due to the small size of the Department of Health Services Field team, increasing case rates, and the need to broaden testing, County Health Services is partnering with three trusted testing providers, LHI, Curative, and Molecular Matrix, to provide expanded testing services for residents.
Find testing locations and make an appointment on the County’s testing page or call the hotline at 707-565-4667. The hotline is available to help residents sort through their many testing options in Spanish and English.
