Over the seven-day period that ended June 26, the county reported an average of just under 250 new coronavirus cases a day. The number has more than tripled in just two weeks.that 376 coronavirus-positive patients were hospitalized countywide on Sunday — the highest number since early May and up about 77% from the record low of 212 set one month ago.
Reported deaths remain low, at an average of about six a day. However, health officials have noted that it can take weeks for increases in transmission to trigger a corresponding rise in fatalities. It’s also possible that a corresponding rise in fatalities may not be as severe as in previous surges, when the vaccines were not widely available, because more seniors and those who are otherwise vulnerable are now mostly vaccinated.
