County residents urged to stay home as COVID cases continue surging
Yolo County headed into the Christmas holiday weekend on more of a tsunami of new coronavirus cases than a surge.
With 954 new cases reported during the week ending Dec. 24, the county was averaging 136 new cases a day. On Saturday, the county added 108 more.
Whatever family gatherings and traveling that residents have engaged in since the beginning of the week will start showing up in the county’s case numbers in the next two weeks and any impact on local hospitals will follow after that.
Earlier last week, county supervisors urged residents to stay home as much as possible throughout the holidays.
