The number of known active virus cases countywide is 51,057 down 3,973 from Tuesday. The active count is derived by subtracting deaths and documented recoveries from the current total 277,724 according to the county Executive Office.
Verified patient recoveries countywide are at 223,389, according to RUHS. 22-year-old Joe DiMeo of New Jersey is the world’s first successful face and double-hand transplant.
Riverside County Emergency Management Director Bruce Barton told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that the county s available ICU space remains at 0%, along with the 11-county Southern California region. However, he pointed out that the peak in hospitalizations now appears to have been in the second week of January, with signs pointing to a continuing decline, though it was unclear when the county might recover to pre-surge levels.
Miller said she was “bombarded” with messages from neighbors and friends who were able to get vaccinated at the event. County staff conceded they needed better vetting and a registration system in place during future events “(so that) only people with appointments get vaccinated unless we have excess doses,” said Greg Diederich, the county’s director of Health Care Services.
“Unfortunately, word got out, and it wasn’t our intent to hold an event that had not been publicly advertised and shared with everyone,” county Public Health Officer Dr. Maggie Park said. “Moving forward, my plan is that I’d like to only release vaccine to mass vaccination events only when there’s a registration in place. I don’t want 75-year-olds, 80-year-olds, sitting in a car for hours, or standing or camping outside when there could be an appointment.”
