Nine more pandemic related deaths are being reported by the Sonoma County Health Department. The health department confirmed the deaths within the past couple of weeks, though they happened as far back as May. That brings Sonoma County’s fatality total to 509. Active cases, meanwhile, continue to go down, standing at 1,949 as of Tuesday. That number peaked at over 47-hundred cases in late June. Officials say most people who are vaccinated and healthy can recover after contracting Covid, however it still remains a risk to those who are elderly with pre-existing conditions.
