The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is published daily to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.
Surveillance Page and Status Updates Return to Weekday Schedule
In late November, our Epidemiology and Communications teams shifted from weekday updates to daily updates in response to the then-surge in COVID-19 cases we were experiencing locally. Thankfully, the surge has passed and case rates have receded.
Considering improving conditions, both our Status Updates (this publication) and dashboards on our data and surveillance webpage will return to five days per week (Mondays through Fridays). The data snapshot on our main homepage will continue to update seven days per week and you can continue to access the raw daily data on our data portal.
The Spirit of Aloha at the Marin Center Vaccine Site
Who said you can’t have fun while providing vaccines? Today, our vaccination team at the Marin Center decided to bring some of the aloha spirit to work today to help celebrate an important milestone: One in five Marin residents has received at least one dose of the vaccine!
New Vaccine Appointment Hotline for Older Adults
Starting March 1, Marin County older adult residents – age 75 & older -- who have struggled to make their own COVID-19 vaccination appointments via the internet can call 833-641-1988 to get assistance from a real live human being. This phone line will operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is targeting those do not have internet connectivity or an at-home computer, tablet or smartphone. If you know of an older adult who does not have reliable internet access and has been unable to secure a vaccine appointment, please share this information with them!
