Contra Costa County COVID-19 data as of Saturday Feb.27, 2021.
All information is from the Contra Costa County Health Dept.:
- Total cases (since March) – 62,507
- Recovered cases – 60,190
- Deaths – 681
- Total active confirmed cases – 1,636
- Nursing home deaths – 300
- 11 active outbreaks in nursing homes
Contra Costa County COVID-19 Hospital Data:
- Patients currently hospitalized – 72
- Occupied ICU beds – 115
- Available ICU beds – 43
The State will move Contra Costa County to the “Red Tier” once the following three criteria have been met for two consecutive weeks:
- Case Rate: Less than 7 new cases per 100,000 residents – (currently 11.9)
- Positivity Rate: Less than 8% of tests countywide are positive – (currently 3.8%)
- Equity Metric: Less than 8% of tests for residents of the lowest quartile of the Healthy Places Index census tracts are positive – (currently 6.0%)
K-6 School Reopening:
Contra Costa County is currently in the Purple Tier. Schools may not reopen for grades 7-12 while in the Purple Tier. K-6 school may reopen for in-person instruction in the Purple Tier if the adjusted case rate has been less than 25 per 100,000 population (currently 11.2) per day for at least 5 consecutive days (schools can now reopen) and the school has an approved COVID Safety Plan. Local school officials will decide whether and when to reopen once these criteria are met.
It’s encouraging to see that 23% of the county population age 16+ have been vaccinated so far. And 84% of the 75+ age group have been vaccinated.
According to the state site case rate is broken into 4 levels from 7.0 and down. So 7 is not a magic number to open up but down to the next level, then the next,then to the lowest.

When is the vaccine for TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) going to be ready, doesn’t anyone see all the pain it causes for the Lefties?
Maybe someone should show these numbers to the school union and board … show that the state allows us to open …
How stupid do you look wearing a mask? Everyone I see with a mask on looks like a total mind controlled NPC. Are you even humans? I can’t tell. I have zero respect for anyone wearing a mask when it’s not required. Texas is dropping the mask mandate. Florida never had one. For some reason california brings out the stupid in people.
I only wear mine when required by the business … and not all business in Contra Costa are enforcing the mask mandate anymore.
The ones I laugh at are the people who are driving in their car by themselves wearing a mask and gloves. That was beat by the guy driving his early 2000’s black convertible camaro, with the top down, wearing a N95. SMH, …
Why all the mask shaming? Science proves that wearing a mask helps slow the spread of Covid. One day; hopefully, in the not to distant future, masks will not be required.
@Parent
I know someone that does that because they are going through chemo and the more they touch their mask by taking it on and off for every stop the higher the chance they can contaminate it and get sick. Their immune system isn’t as strong as yours.
They are going above and beyond to stay well as they too are a parent and want to stick around for their children as long as they can. Be thankful you do not have to wear PPE in your car even driving solo for that reason vs laughing at them.
You are literally paranoid and delusional if you think your little mask is your savior. You have let the ruling class of the world manipulate you. The news is fake. Has been for a long, long time. This is the eternal struggle of the commoners against the controllers of the planet. Make no mistake about what is taking place. COVID is not deadly and is technically not a hoax but a weapon. Everything has been manipulated to scare you into submission. The brave new world is here and the lies will never stop. Welcome to the World State. Time to wise up.
@Sam
Covid is not the only reason someone with an incredibly compromised immune system would be out and about wearing a medical mask. Prior to this pandemic you would see some people out wearing them due to health issues.
Not exactly fair to clump everyone together and label them “paranoid and delusional.”
@Sam – you are entitled to your opinion; however, I reiterate – why all the mask shaming its not necessary.
@Sam Prior to the pandemic, in fact years ago, I bought surgical masks to wear when working in the yard for a really bad case of allergies I was experiencing at the time. They were mildly helpful, but I couldn’t stand being restricted like that when I was working so vigorously. I still had them on hand when the pandemic struck and pressed them into service.
And, more than once prior to the pandemic, I’ve seen people at the Walnut Creek Social Security office wearing masks. At times the waiting room was crammed with people sitting shoulder to shoulder waiting to be served, while others stood waiting for a seat. Several times I sat next to someone coughing and hacking only to get up the next morning with a head cold or sore throat.
It is also occasionally recommended those undergoing treatment for certain types of cancer wear masks because their immune system is suppressed from the treatment. A minor bacterial infection could be deadly. So, there are several reasons you might see people wearing masks that are not related to the pandemic.
People with “incredibly compromised immune systems” are not “out and about”. Another lie.

The simple fact that none of the masks would do anything to protect anyone from a virus makes the act of putting one on reason enough to shame anyone wearing a mask. It’s a sign of incredible ignorance. But then again I’m not surprised by the general populations appetite for doing stupid
gittyup
There are obviously extreme exemptions from the norm. Generally speaking. My original post said when it’s not required. Clearly if you don’t have an immune system you should do what you need to do. Put it like this, if you don’t have an immune system you already have one foot in the grave for some reason or another that has nothing to do with me.
first fauci said no masks
next he said wear a mask
now he says two, three or more masks
People around danville are stuck on the idea that the county will move into the red tier on Tuesday, the numbers don’t look like they’ll be in line by then. Even if the case rate magically drops to 7%, the three metrics need to be met for 2 weeks, correct?
Today’s report (Sunday) shows the current adjusted case rate as 10.8%. It looks like Tuesday’s number will be 9.7% or higher. Since the adjusted case rate has to be 7.0 or lower for two weeks, it’s unlikely that we’ll get to the red tier before March 16. But first we have to get the adjusted rate down to 7.0 or lower by March 9 and then stay there.
We’re coming up on a year now of things still being closed, including schools. Kids should have been back in school long ago. Private schools have been open. Kids have been in school in other states and in other countries for quite some time now. California needs to open back up.
Gyms should never have closed. California is the only state where indoor dining isn’t allowed.
It’s almost a year now. A year. Does governor Gavin not care about the serious negative consequences of people being isolated, schools closed, and businesses closing foreve? Because there are consequences, serious ones.
Compare Florida to CA, makes you question CA’s shut down of our economy.
Had N95 masks been available for citizens of CA Covid could have been knocked down months ago. Because of short short sighted DEMs here in CA, they did away with a 50 Million mask stockpile set up by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2006.
Given DEM decision making and short sighted thinking they don’t deserve to be elected in CA.
I agree with you re the comparison of FL & CA and the similar outcome despite two very different approaches.
It makes it even worse knowing while so many small businesses were forced to shut their doors for good in CA due to the pandemic Amazon, Target, Walmart & Big-box stores had their biggest numbers to date. CEO’s got richer than ever and some of our elected officials were out attending $$$$ dinner parties, getting their hair done, so forth as other people could barely scrape by.
The destruction that has been caused in CA should be of concern to everyone.
Fyi It’s called corporate fascism and it’s gone global.
Is there a vaccine for bankruptcy? Because businesses continue to close under the Fearless Leadership of Gavin bin Lyin.
