The number of new coronavirus cases in San Bernardino County in the past week broke the county’s all-time record, according to data released Monday, Nov. 16.
In the past seven days, the county has recorded 6,064 new COVID-19 cases. The previous seven-day record was 5,503 cases reported in the week ending July 30.
Last Tuesday, San Bernardino County recorded a new high for the number of new cases reported in a single day. But that may have been inflated by a backlog of new cases that were added in.
The county has already added more new COVID-19 cases in the first 16 days of November — 9,977 — than it did in the entire month of October, when 9,749 new cases were logged.
San Bernardino County’s record for the number of new cases in a month was July, when 19,680 cases were reported.
To deal with a surge of new cases, state officials Monday moved a number of California counties into the purple, or most-restrictive, tier of the four-tier framework that eases or tightens restrictions on businesses with the goal of preventing COVID-19’s spread.
SBCO was already in the purple tier but its numbers got a lot worse from last week. The number of new cases per day per 100,000 people, adjusted for testing volume, spiked from 16.8 on Tuesday to 27 on Monday, and the test positivity rate rose from 7.7% to 10.1%.
Here are the latest numbers, according to county and state public health officials.

Reopening plan tier: Purple (widespread risk level, many non-essential indoor business operations are closed) based on these metrics as of Monday:

- Case rate adjusted for testing volume: 27.0
- Test positivity rate: 10.1% (9.3% in socioeconomically challenged neighborhoods)
- What’s next: San Bernardino County is not meeting the criteria to move to a less-restrictive tier. When it has met them for two consecutive weeks, it can advance.
