There’s good news and bad news on the pandemic front in Sonoma County.
The good news is that active cases have dropped off, and there are currently 841 total active cases of Covid-19. This comes after numbers peaked at nearly 27-thousand cases in late January. The bad news, though, is that health officials have detected 15 cases of the highly contagious coronavirus subvariant BA.2 or “Stealth Omicron” in the county. That number is likely much higher as “Stealth Omicron” accounts for 35-percent of cases across the country.
Additionally, three more deaths were reported last week bringing the county’s pandemic death toll to 487.
