The county Department of Public Health recorded 1,617 new COVID cases Friday, 1,188 on Saturday, 938 Sunday and 822 Monday.
The actual number of current COVID infections in the county is likely higher, with many people using at-home tests without reporting the results to health officials.The seven-day average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus was 5.9% as of Monday.
Some of the patients entered the hospital for other reasons and discovered they had the coronavirus after a test at the hospital. The rate of infections is also rising, reaching a weekly average of 86 cases per 100,000 residents last week, up from 65 per 100,000 residents two weeks ago, Ferrer said. If that average rises to 100 cases per 100,000 residents per week, the county will again “strongly recommend” that people wear masks indoors. Indoor mask wearing is currently only a matter of personal preference, unless an individual location or business opts to require them.
Virus-related deaths are averaging about seven per day, down from 10 to 12 per day in early November, but Ferrer said deaths are considered a lagging indicator, meaning the numbers could rise in coming weeks in response to the increases in infections and hospitalizations.
