Riverside County will post COVID updates every week day again
Riverside County health officials have reversed course on their decision to post coronavirus update weekly. The county will once again be posting coronavirus date updates every day starting Thursday.
"The move from weekly to the daily updates (except for weekends) will give the public a better sense of where the data is trending," reads a notice from county spokesperson Jose Arballo Jr.
The county reported 452 new cases, 0 deaths, and 233 recoveries since Wednesday. This brings the totals to 304,512 cases, 4,657 deaths, and 297,244 recoveries.
There were also 5 additional hospitalizations (160 total) and 2 more people in the ICU (32 total) over the past 24 hours.
Riverside County reported 3,225 additional residents who are either partially or full vaccinated over the past 24 hours. The county reports that a total of 1,179,11 residents 12+ (or 56.0% of the county population) are either partially or full vaccinated.
48.7% of the county's population, or 1,025,537 residents, are full vaccinated. That's up 22,966 people since yesterday.
COVID vaccine clinics are open across Riverside County for all residents 16 and older. You can schedule an appointment at: https://www.rivcoph.org/COVID-19-Vaccine.
Seniors who need assistance can dial 2-1-1. Those who register must show proof of age/employment at the time of appointment. Residents under 18 must have a parent or guardian with them when arriving to their vaccine appointment.
County officials noted that while the main numbers will be updated daily once again, the county map showing cases in cities will continue to only be updated on Wednesdays.
