Tracking county closures in Santa Barbara

The state of California is using a data-driven approach informed by scientific evidence to tailor its response to COVID-19. Three dimensions of concern are monitored to assess whether a county should be placed on the County Monitoring List:

  1. Elevated Disease Transmission
  2. Increasing Hospitalization
  3. Limited Hospital Capacity

Once a county appears on the County Monitoring List for three consecutive days, indoor operations in the sectors listed in Section 3 of the July 13th State Health Officer Order must close.

This table tracks where Santa Barbara stands in terms of the criteria for inclusion on the County Monitoring List. As of 20 August 2020, the criteria for inclusion on the monitoring list are:

  • Case rate >100 OR (Case rate >25 AND Positivity >8%)
  • >10% increase in hospitalizations
  • <20% ICU beds available OR <25% ventilators available

If Santa Barbara meets the criteria for removal from the County Monitoring List for a certain metric, then a checkmark ✔ is displayed in the table.
