Fifty Yolo County residents were in hospitals with COVID-19 on Saturday, the most ever during the course of the pandemic.
The vast majority were hospitalized outside the county, with county data showing just 16 COVID-positive patients at Sutter Davis and Woodland Memorial hospitals, including nine in intensive care beds.
The county has also reported 11 more COVID-19 deaths over the past week.
The good news: The county has shown a decline in new cases, as well as a continuing drop in the test positivity rate, over the last seven days. The positivity rate of 3.9 percent for the week of Jan. 14 to 20 is the lowest since mid-October.
