COVID-19 Update to the Board of Supervisors
Today, Dr. Matt Willis, Marin’s Public Health Officer provided an update to the Marin County Board of Supervisors regarding Marin’s COVID-19 response. Dr. Willis reviewed COVID-19 data, school -based cases, vaccine distribution, and more.
Update from the State of California
This afternoon, Dr. Mark Ghaly, Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency provided an update on statewide COVID-19 case rates, hospitalizations, new coronavirus variant surveillance, formulas for ICU projections, and Blueprint for a Safer Economy, among other topics.
All but four California counties are in the most restrictive purple tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. While Marin County has achieved two of the three metrics required to shift to Tier 2, progress must be made on the COVID-19 case rate.
As of yesterday, more than 3.5 million vaccines had been administered statewide. Dr. Ghaly noted the state is “beginning to speed up” the pace that vaccines are allocated to counties, but did not offer specific details on how California Department of Public Health would fix the problem of limited supply.
