Napa County had about 2,500 new COVID-19 cases in December. That is four times the July total and twice the November total, Relucio said.

Federal and state health officials say COVID-19 vaccines should end the pandemic.

Napa County has about 139,000 residents. Relucio told supervisors that the county received 6,300 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and administered 3,318 doses.

Vaccines are administered based on a phased system that comes from the state and federal governments. The first phase underway includes acute health care workers, those in psychiatric hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, paramedics and dialysis personnel.

In the next two months, the categories can be expanded to home and dental care, among others. March may start vaccinations for people aged 75 and over and people in the food, agriculture, education and day care sectors.
