There were 26 additional cases of COVID-19 and one death, with new cases continuing to rise, Napa County reported Thursday.
The county’s total death toll since March is now eight, including four since last Friday. Eleven people were hospitalized as of Thursday, a drop of two since Wednesday.
Napa County will set a record this week for new cases. There have been 128 cases so far this week, beating last week’s record of 106 cases, and there is one more day to report.
Among the 26 new cases, 11 were people ages 18 to 29, nine were ages 30 to 49, three were ages 50 to 64, two were younger than 18 years old and one was older than 64 years, the county reported.
Seventeen of the new cases were in the city of Napa, four in American Canyon, two east of the city of Napa and one in unincorporated areas between Napa and Yountville and between Yountville and St. Helena, the county said.
The number of congregated living facilities with active cases among staff or residents remained at eight.
A surge of cases in July helped Napa County be placed on the state’s “watch list” and forced a variety of businesses, including indoor restaurants, hair and beauty salons, to re-close last week.
