The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is three times per week and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.
Celebrate Safely: Spring Break
Next week will be Spring Break for many Marin County schools, and some families may choose to travel. Organizing a vacation with loved ones provides an opportunity to create happy memories filled with shared experiences. During this time of year, we typically see larger numbers of people traveling which in turn increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Despite COVID-related restrictions loosening in Marin and the rest of the state, it’s of utmost importance to remember that COVID-19 has not gone away. While planning a fun vacation with our families or friends, it’s also important to follow the appropriate steps to remain COVID-safe.
Here are some easy yet effective ways to keep COVID away from your travel plans:
-
Vaccination: By ensuring that every eligible member of your group is fully vaccinated and up to date, the level of protection is high. Are you looking for a vaccine? See below for vaccination opportunities in the county or visit our Vaccine Finder page.
-
Masks: There are still indoor public settings that require masks, so it’s important to be prepared. Also, businesses have the option to enforce a universal masking policy so having a mask (and even an extra) available is highly advised. It is still strongly recommended that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, continue to wear a well-fitting mask in indoor public settings.
-
Know the risk: If you are traveling domestically, it’s important to know the COVID Community Level of the place being visited. You can find Community Levels on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website. If traveling overseas, check the requirements for entry of your destination and the rules enforced by your airline.
-
COVID-safe practices: Remember to wash hands regularly and carry hand sanitizer. Mask-up in crowded spaces and try to maintain social distance from those outside your household. Avoid sharing food or drinks with people you don’t know. Before visiting a destination, consider arriving at a less-busy time. Choose outdoor spaces if the weather allows or venues with proper air ventilation.

Vaccination Opportunities in Marin
If you know someone who is still in need of a primary vaccination dose or booster shot, please share the list below with them! While Marin County remains one of the most highly vaccinated within the state and the nation, many eligible residents have yet to receive their booster shot. Staying up to date on our vaccines is just as important as receiving an initial series.
Bolstering our immunity against COVID-19 is of utmost importance, especially with the continued presence of coronavirus, including the Omicron variant, in our community. Fortunately, we have access to vaccines which are a FREE and effective resource for keeping us protected.

We are grateful to everyone in our community who has done their part by getting fully vaccinated and boosted when eligible.
COVID-19 Data Update:
As of February 16, our COVID-19 Status Update changed in frequency and is now published Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays except on holidays. Because these updates are no longer published on consecutive days, the last column in each data table now reflects the change from last Status Update, not a change from the previous day.
Below is just a snapshot of local COVID-19 data. For a more in-depth analysis of COVID-19 trends, please view the Marin Data & Surveillance webpage, review our Data FAQ, or explore the raw data sets on Marin County's Open Data Portal.
NEW: Due to our community's high vaccination rates coupled with lower daily vaccination updates, we are changing the frequency of updating the vaccination dashboards to weekly. They’ll be updated on Friday afternoons. The Total Residents Vaccinated in the key indicators will also be updated on Fridays. This went into effect on Friday and the next update will be Friday, April 1.
