The numbers of new cases keep rising.
As of the last data from Marin HHS on Friday, the cumulative total for the county was 2,088 on 41,762 tested, a rise of 73 positive cases day over day, with one new death and two newly hospitalized.
This morning, it's showing 2,234, with two new hospitalized.
The geographic breakdown for the new numbers isn't available (nor is a revised number of tests). The table was current as of Friday evening. The case density for San Rafael of 1.8% - positive cases per population - breaks down into 2.4% in 94901 (south of the hill, including downtown and the canal district) and 0.9% in 94903 (north of the hill, the civic center, Terra Linda, San Pedro, Marinwood, etc.)
Details very much tbd but I'm guessing that the new numbers reflect the surge in tests and the backlog in results. Don't know.
I've excluded San Quentin for a few reasons. SQ is only reporting "active cases" which number is declining. Why is that number declining? Probably due to infected inmates being moved to a different location. Not clear. As of Friday pm that number was 1,118, down from over 1,400 a week ago.
