"Our new case rates are reaching levels not experienced in the two years of this pandemic. A month ago we were averaging about 90 new cases a day. Now we are averaging more than 1,250 new cases a day. Our six hospitals in Sonoma County are being stressed due to staffing shortages and bed capacity issues. Many hospital staffers are out because they've tested positive for COVID or because they have to stay home to care for children who have tested positive."
