The number of patients with COVID 19 in Marin County hospitals increased from 11 to 23 last week. This surpasses the hospitalization rate of the 2023-2024 winter surge. Those currently hospitalized are characterized by older age and chronic medical conditions. The concentration of virus in wastewater has leveled off, signaling the possibility of a plateau in the summer surge. Marin Public Health recommends vaccination now for residents over age 60 who have not received a COVID vaccine in the past 6 months, rather than waiting for the fall formulation.
