There were 75 confirmed COVID-19 patients being treated in local hospitals, including 21 people in ICU beds. Of Monday’s new COVID-19 cases, Santa Maria tallied 136, Santa Barbara had 68, and Lompoc had 35. The rest were spread throughout the county. Seven new COVID-19 cases were from the Lompoc federal correctional complex, where few cases have been reported since the large inmate outbreaks in the spring. “We have reached case counts that exceed all previous records,” Do-Reynoso said. “It is imperative that each individual take action now and stay home. “We are reaching a point where we can see on the horizon our health care system being overrun,” she continued. “We must take immediate action as our decisions are now seeing the price to be paid, and it is costing the lives and wellbeing of our community members.”
