The county s average number of people hospitalized due to COVID-19 has fallen to its lowest point since the onset of the pandemic. The county s five-day average daily number of people hospitalized due to COVID-19 was 389 as of Friday. Officials have been touting vaccinations as the key to keeping hospital beds empty, noting that inoculated residents are highly protected from infection, but even if they do still contract the virus, they are extremely unlikely to wind up hospitalized.
“We see the power of vaccinations in our low metrics and reduced transmission,” Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said last week.
Ferrer said the number of shots administered in the county last week fell about 25% from the previous week. As a result, most vaccination sites, including all the ones operated by the county, are offering shots without appointments.
