Sonoma County is experiencing new cases, hospitalizations and deaths at
levels not seen since February. This surge in COVID-19 cases coincides with
the arrival of the Delta variant. Younger, unvaccinated residents now account for a growing number of new cases. Dr. Sundari Mase, county health officer, says unvaccinated residents are putting themselves and others at risk. There is good news. 82 percent of our 12 and older population is now fully or partially vaccinated, the rate of new cases appears to have leveled off, testing positivity rates are declining and hospitalizations have dropped after reaching the 80s two weeks ago.
Find more information about case rates, testing opportunities, vaccine clinics, rental assistance, an upcoming community COVID-19 update from the Sonoma Valley Hospital, and a new PG&E program to assist customers behind on energy bills below.
