More than 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in San Bernardino County.
The county reported the milestone Sunday (April 18), reaching a total of 1,010,894. 392,037 county residents, 23.4% of the county’s age-16-and-older population, are now fully vaccinated. On Sunday, 87 people were being treated for COVID-19 in county hospitals. For the second time in three days, fewer than 90 people with confirmed cases were hospitalized, a level not seen since the earliest days of the pandemic.
Here are the latest San Bernardino County numbers as of Monday (April 19).
Confirmed cases: 294,883 total, up 419 from Friday, April 16, averaging 150 reported per day in the past week
Deaths: 4,317 total, up 28 from Friday, averaging 11 reported per day in the past week
Hospital survey: 87 confirmed and 27 suspected patients hospitalized Sunday, including 17 confirmed and six suspected patients in the ICU, with 24 of 25 facilities reporting. The number of confirmed patients is down 10% from a week earlier.
Tests: 2,853,881 total, up 25,129 from Friday, averaging 7,202 reported per day in the past week
Resolved cases (estimate): 289,368 total, up 471 from Friday, averaging 144 per day in the past week
Reopening plan tier: Orange (moderate risk level; some indoor business operations are open with modifications) based on these metrics as of Tuesday, April 13:
New cases per day per 100,000 residents: 3.8
Case rate adjusted for testing volume: 3.8
Test positivity rate: 1.9% (2.0% in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods)
What’s next: To advance to the yellow tier where more businesses can open or expand capacity, the county would need an adjusted case rate below 2.0 and a positivity rate below 2.0% for the whole county and 2.2% in disadvantaged neighborhoods for two consecutive weeks, and to have been in the orange tier for three weeks. San Bernardino County moved to the orange tier April 6.
