Sacramento County is experiencing a record spike in COVID-19 cases, with the rate up 177% in a week as the omicron variant tears across the country. The county’s dashboard reported a 7-day average case rate of 72.4 cases per 100,000 people, as of Dec. 30. The number represented a new peak since earlier pandemic surges.

San Francisco now has the third-highest coronavirus transmission rate in California, with a daily average case rate of about 104 per 100,000 residents. The county recorded a seven-day average of 896 cases per day on Dec. 30, the most recent available data. That is more than double the previous peak of 388 cases, a seven-day average recorded on Jan. 12 last year. At least one Bay Area county, Napa, is out of available intensive care beds as the virus once again tightens its hold on the region. San Francisco’s transmission rate ranks in California behind only Los Angeles County, with 118 cases per 100,000 residents — the highest reported there since the start of the pandemic — and Mono County with 109 per 100,000. Across California, the seven-day aver...
