Marin Hospitals Report No Coronavirus Cases

MARIN COUNTY, CA – On the eve of the state’s reopening, Marin County is reporting another major sign that it is moving past the pandemic.

Marin’s hospital census reported zero coronavirus cases Monday for the first time in more than year.

The last time Marin did not have a single patient hospitalized for COVID-19 was May 3, 2020, just prior to a major surge of cases statewide that led to the implementation of the County Monitoring List in June 2020 and the Blueprint model in August 2020.

Marin County has one of the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in California, with 89.1 percent of eligible residents aged 12 and older having received at least one dose of the vaccine and 80 percent having completed a vaccine series.

The high rate of vaccine adoption among Marin residents has dramatically decreased both local case rates and hospitalization rates. Most COVID-19 cases and all deaths over the past two months have been among unvaccinated individuals.

“The pattern couldn’t be clearer that vaccinations protect us,” Marin Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis said in a statement.

“We’re seeing the benefits in preventing the most serious illnesses and is another reason why we feel ready to move forward with reopening our local economy.”

Marin plans to align with California Department of Public Health’s Beyond the Blueprint policies and will not impose any local, more restrictive regulations than what the state allows.

Marin County Public Health continues to offer a series of mobile vaccination clinics in its quest to inoculate the remaining 11% of eligible residents.
