COVID-19 UPDATE; HIGHEST NUMBERS OF HOSPITALIZATIONS TO DATE

San Bernardino County reported its highest number of hospitalized novel coronavirus patients and confirmed 134 new cases, but no new deaths, Monday (June 8). Saturday, there were 195 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the county, the most recorded. Hospitalizations have risen every day since May 30, when 130 people were hospitalized. Corwin Porter, the county’s interim public health director, said some of it results from taking positive patients from Imperial County. Imperial County’s two hospitals reached their capacity for coronavirus patients, so they were transferred to neighboring counties. Here in the Morongo Basin, there are 54 confirmed cases: Yucca Valley with 21; Joshua Tree 15; Twentynine Palms 11; and Morongo Valley with seven. There have been 6,247 positive cases of COVID-19, and 221 deaths so far. The 224 deaths reported Saturday, June 6, was an error.
An estimated 3,640 people have recovered from the disease, according to the county. Through Monday, 75,643 people have been tested for the disease in a county of 2.1 million residents. Of those tested, 8.3 percent were positive. Testing was up 4.7 percent from the day before. The time it takes for the virus to double in the community continues to grow. It was 17.1 days as of Monday, compared to around five days near the start of the pandemic.
