The change in the three-day average of hospitalized patients went from -8.9 percent Sunday to 8.6, ro 8.5 percent, Monday, still much lower than the state's threshold of 10 percent increase.

Available ICU beds was at 35 percent, and the percentage of ventilators available fell from 57 percent to 54 percent. The state's threshold is 20 percent of ICU beds available to handle a surge and 25 percent ventilators on hand.

Meanwhile, schools across the county are gearing up for a return to the classroom, via digital learning or socially distanced classrooms, even as opthamologists draw concern of an increase in childhood Myopia.
