Coronavirus In Napa County: Number Of Cases Surpasses 500 Mark

NAPA COUNTY, CA — As the number of coronavirus cases in Napa County continues to climb, rising from 477 Friday to 518 Monday — 357 active cases — new orders came down from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

In addition to ordering a statewide closure of all bars and all indoor activities at restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, zoos, museums and card rooms, Napa as well as the other counties on the state's monitoring list — including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Solano and Sonoma in the Bay Area — must also close gyms, places of worship, offices in non-critical sectors, hair and nail salons and indoor malls.

As Napa County continues to see a steady increase in cases, the county says there has been considerably more community spread with unknown exposure, as well as spread from some smaller household clusters linked to gatherings and occupational exposure. Occupational exposures have included agriculture, retail workplaces, and exposures linked to outbreaks in congregant care settings, according to the county.

For the week ending July 10, the majority of the county's cases were male (55 percent) and Hispanic (56 percent). Cases were evenly distributed among the age groups, and the average age was about 44 years. As of Friday, there was an average of 1.6 contacts per case, resulting in about 156 new close contacts being monitored by the county.
