Latest Danville Coronavirus Case Count

DANVILLE, CA — The town of Danville has seen more new COVID-19 cases reported in the past two weeks than most areas in Contra Costa County.

Thirty-five Danville residents have tested positive for the coronavirus in the past two weeks, county public health officials reported Monday. Of the 29 Contra Costa regions tracked by county public health officials, Danville is tied with Oakley for the eighth highest number of recently diagnosed COVID-19 cases.

Neighboring San Ramon is just behind Danville with 33 new cases reported in the past two weeks.

Danville — a smaller city — is worse off than San Ramon when you account for population, according to county data. Of all Contra Costa regions, Danville has the eleventh highest case rate (80 cases per 100,000 residents), while San Ramon has the ninth lowest case rate in the past two weeks (40 cases per 100,000 residents).

Danville has seen 384 COVID-19 cases and four associated deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, according to county data.

Danville's COVID-19 data, concerns about health order violations and an Oct. 17 altercation prompted the town to call off Hartz Avenue road closures this weekend from Diablo Road to Prospect Avenue. The road closures were originally instituted to provide businesses with more flexibility in use of outdoor space to more safely serve customers outdoors.

The Danville Town Council is slated to meet Tuesday to discuss the implications of COVID-19 on local business operations. The council will reexamine road closures along Hartz and discuss how the town can work with businesses in the months to come.

There have been a total of 18,763 COVID-19 cases reported in Contra Costa County, including 873 in the past two weeks. There have been 242 deaths.
