Tuolumne County COVID chart 7-22-21
Sonora, CA – A recent spike in COVID-19 cases has Tuolumne County Public Health recommending masks be worn in public settings regardless of whether a person is fully vaccinated.
Thursday there were 14 new community cases and two of those were fully vaccinated individuals given the Moderna vaccine. That number includes 1 female and 2 males ages 0-17, 1 female and male 30-39, 3 females and 2 males 40-49, 2 females and 1 male 60-69, and 1 male 70-79. As reported here yesterday, over the weekend the county saw the first case of a fully vaccinated person needing hospitalization and since then that number now stands at two individuals.
In the days before Christmas, 44-year-old April Harris sat in her prison cell at the California Institution for Women for more than 23 hours a day. In the 20 minutes she was allowed to leave it, she and the other prisoners would flood into the common areas – choosing either to take a shower or to make a short phone call.
Restrictions have fluctuated during the various lockdowns implemented throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, but in the 11 months since the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) first banned visitations across state prisons, Harris says she has seen the mental health of those around her steadily deteriorate.
