YELLOW TIER WITHIN REACH AS COUNTY'S SCORE SHRINKS TO 1.9
• Next tier could be reached as early as May 19
Almost two months after the strict social distancing rules of the state's Purple Tier ended here, not only is there no sign of a surge in Monterey County, new cases have slowed to the point where state health officials are apparently getting ready to move the county into the Yellow Tier — the last one before
all shutdown rules end.(Maybe, if they don't move the goal posts again. Am sure Nazi Newsom feels that recall election breathing down his neck. -JS(
Monterey County's move to the Yellow Tier could come as early as May 19 after
today's announcement from the California Department of Public Health that the county's current tier score is 1.9 — just within Yellow Tier territory. A score of less than 2.0 is needed three weeks in a row before the move to the Yellow Tier becomes official.
According to the CDC, California now has the lowest rate of new cases in the country, and Monterey County has one of the lowest rates in the state – quite a distinction for a county that was experiencing 120-plus new cases per day per 100,000 residents in early January.
Today's tier score announcement came as
local health officials said 85 county residents had tested positive for the virus over the last seven days. Of those, 17 were in the Monterey Peninsula, including seven in Pacific Grove, four in Monterey, three each in Marina and Seaside and none in Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley, Carmel area (93923) or Pebble Beach. Also worth noting is that only nine people are currently hospitalized with Covid-19 at the county's four hospitals.
CHOMP and its parent company, Montage Health, said this morning they have "many vaccine appointments available this week," which you can book at
www.chomp.org/vaccine. Vaccinations from Montage are available not only in Marina, but at pop-up clinics Thursday and Saturday in Seaside, where appointments can also be made by telephone by calling (831) 899-6822 .
Doses of the coronavirus vaccines administered in Monterey County now total 330,480, the CDPH said, including 25,935 shots given over the last week. To make an appointment to be vaccinated, go to
