Scroll down for today’s Covid numbers.
Even the Mission’s new case count is beginning to level off. Between November 24 and December 23, DPH reports 709 new cases in the Mission for aĀ total of 2796 cases, or 46.8 cases per 1000 residents.Ā Not so in Bayview-Hunters Point which had 717 over that period, for a total of 2509 cases, or 67.1 cases per 1000 residents.
ICU patients have slightly dropped over the past three reporting days. These numbers as of December 25Ā may reflect a data delay more than reality. On December 25, DPH reports SF hospitals had 101Ā ICU beds and 552 Acute Care beds available.Ā For the week ending December 25, the weekly rate of change in Covid positive patients wasĀ 8 percent.Ā This is the first time the rate of change has dropped below the DPH goal of 10 percent since November 18. During that week, the seven-day average availability of ICU beds was 30 percent and for Acute Care beds 27 percent. Ā DPH continues to report 100 percent of required PPE on hand, but does not report on staffing, nor on the cases and deaths among hospital and healthcare workers.
