Please help save lives by following the public health guidance. Please protect your loved ones and your neighbors.

- Current doubling time is 44.1 days. What is doubling? Simply put, it’s how many days it takes for the number of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations or deaths to double. The shorter the time frame, the steeper the curve and the faster the growth.
- Current hospitalizations: 375 and current ICU: 70. 0.8% Adult ICU Bed Availability in Ventura County.
As the year comes to a close, it is more important than ever for our community to stay vigilant. ICU’s throughout the State are filling up and we need to do our part to help save lives, help support hospital staff and to help move our County and businesses forward. Please protect your families – don’t gather with friends or loved ones on New Year’s Eve. Stay home except for essential needs, wear a mask anytime you leave the house, keep 6 feet of distance from others, wash your hands frequently, only gather with people that live in your home. The state is seeing the largest COVID-19 transmission rates since the start of the pandemic. This is a critical time. Let’s kick off the new year by helping to do our part to slow the spread.
