Key Indicators
COVID-19 Wastewater Surveillance
Marin County Public Health uses wastewater (sewage) to monitor levels of community virus transmission. This dashboard shows the amount of virus detected in six wastewater collection sites, which cover about 85% of the Marin population, and a composite measure of all sites combined.
The Marin COVID Level is displayed as “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”, based on levels of virus in all 6 sites combined and the number of people currently in Marin County hospitals who have tested positive for COVID-19. In addition to the County-wide COVID level, we provide an indicator of the trend in wastewater virus levels in each area to indicate if levels are increasing, decreasing, or staying stable.
Samples are collected 1-3 times per week and the chart is updated weekly. More information about wastewater surveillance can be found here. Wastewater levels for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and influenza are available on the Marin County flu surveillance data page.

COVID-19 Hospitalization Census
The Daily Census reflects the total number of COVID-19 patients reported to CDPH from Marin's acute care hospitals -- MarinHealth Medical Center, Kaiser San Rafael, and Novato Community Hospital. The count of positive patients in this dashboard includes patients hospitalized for COVID-19 disease and patients hospitalized for other conditions who had a positive COVID-19 test. The light blue line represents an estimate of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 out of the total. The data are lagged by one day and are updated daily. More information about this data can be found in the CDPH data dictionary.

Prevalence of Variants of SARS-CoV-2 in Marin County
This chart displays the weekly proportion of COVID-19 variants of concern (VOC) identified through whole genome sequencing (WGS) in Marin County. These data are updated on Fridays by Marin County Public Health. Not all positive samples are sequenced, and it can take up to 21 days to receive results, so this may not represent all of the circulating variants in the community. Variants not classified as VOC (defined here) by the CDC are grouped in the "other" category.
Data Source: Source: COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Sequencing, California Department of Public Health, Napa-Solano-Yolo-Marin Regional Public Health Laboratory, academic partners, and commercial laboratories.
School/Childcare and Long-Term Care Facility Outbreaks
In long-term care and congregate living facilities, an outbreak is defined as one or more facility-acquired confirmed case; or, three or more suspect or confirmed cases that are linked (CDPH). In TK-12 schools, an outbreak is reported when cases reach 5% of the school student population within 14 days (CDPH). In childcare facilities, an outbreak is generally three or more cases that are linked, within 14-day period (CDSS).
COVID-19 Vaccinations
COVID-19 Vaccinations
This dashboard shows COVID-19 vaccine doses administered to Marin County residents. State and National data that show comparisons of COVID-19 outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated people are a useful tool to evaluate risk. To view these resources, visit the CDPH COVID Data Tracker webpage and the CDC COVID Data Tracker webpage. The dashboard below is updated weekly by CDPH.

COVID-19 Vaccination Demographics
This dashboard shows the percent of Marin County residents by age group and race/ethnicity that have received the primary series and booster doses. This dashboard also includes a Vaccine Equity Metric, using the Healthy Places Index (HPI) to describe inequities between communities within Marin County. These data are updated weekly by CDPH.
