Roseville, CA- Covid-19 hospitalizations in Placer County dips below 40 patients, far below the mid-January peak that surpassed 230. Additional encouraging news shows the 7-day positivity rate pushes under 4 percent. Vaccination distribution continues to accelerate throughout the region.

Healthcare system
Since the beginning of the pandemic, one of the key concerns is the ability of healthcare system to manage the potential influx of Covid-19 patients, while still maintaining sufficient health services for the community. Placer County doesn’t operate in an isolated bubble and also accommodates neighboring counties.
“Placer County’s two largest hospitals lie on the Placer-Sacramento County border and provide care to residents of both counties, as well as other neighboring counties.”
