October 7, 2021 - You may have noticed we reported a large number of hospitalizations in our case report yesterday (see link below) afternoon. We don't like reporting out these kinds of numbers to our community.
In Mariposa County, 16 of our 63 active cases are currently hospitalized (in locations outside of the county). This means that 1 out of 4 of our current cases are hospitalized. We are also seeing an increase in younger adults being hospitalized for COVID-19.
We remind everyone that we all hold power to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

As always, our thoughts are with our community members currently in the hospital as well as their friends and families. We hope to be able to report their releases home soon.
