Santa Clara County Reports 210 New Coronavirus Cases, 2 Deaths

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA — The Santa Clara County Public Health Department reported 210 additional coronavirus cases Wednesday.

The latest announcement brings the countywide COVID-19 case count to 4,572.

The county reported two new coronavirus-related fatalities, bringing its COVID-19 death toll up to 158.

There were 80 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Santa Clara County as of Wednesday.

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and Public Health Department held a joint meeting Monday with the San Jose City Council to preview the county's new reopening plan that will be released later this week.

The new plan will include across-the-board guidelines for all open businesses, with some more restrictive guidelines for higher risk activities that will be applicable for the long-term. This also means that some businesses will be deemed too high-risk to open up for the time being.

Elsewhere around the Bay Area and beyond, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced he's dialing back openings on beaches, restaurants, theaters and more, including Santa Clara County.

The city of Fremont and the Fremont Unified School District announced Monday that they will collaborate in an effort to provide nutritious meals to youth and families in need over the summer.

According to the city, the FUSD has provided approximately 11,000 to 15,000 Grab & Go meals every week since March 23 in an effort to improve food security for youth under 18 years old in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
