San Bernardino County broke records for new confirmed coronavirus cases Tuesday, Nov. 17 — the day after it set one of those records.
According to data reported by the county, the seven-day total of new cases record that was broken Monday, Nov. 9, fell again Tuesday as 1,756 new cases were added. That number of new cases is also an all-time high. Tuesday’s seven-day total was 6,338 cases reported.
This was the third time in four days the seven-day total record was broken.
The county also passed 75,000 confirmed cases Tuesday.
San Bernardino County is now averaging 905 new cases a day over the past week, a number that has doubled in the past 12 days.
State numbers show there are more than 400 people with confirmed cases in San Bernardino County hospitals for the first time since Aug. 19 — that number has doubled in the past 23 days — and more than 100 people in the ICU.
As of Monday, the county had the sixth highest number of daily new cases per 100,000 residents in the state. The five counties above it, Alpine, Imperial, Shasta, Tuolumne and Tehama are all small, and their numbers are easily distorted by a few new cases. For instance, Alpine, with only 1,117 residents, added four new cases and had the highest rate in the state with 51.2. San Bernardino County’s rate is 27.0.
San Bernardino County’s total number of confirmed cases, as of Monday — 74,929 — is the 14th highest in the country, according to Johns Hopkins University. Los Angeles County was No. 1; Riverside County was No. 12. Those ranks closely match their population sizes, ranked at 14, 1 and 10, respectively, according to 2019 Census data.
While L.A. County on Tuesday issued curfews on restaurants, wineries, bars and cardrooms as well as caps on capacity, San Bernardino County has not discussed setting similar limits.
“The state has indicated it is considering curfews and modifications,” San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert wrote in an email. “Since the state has said it could make a decision by the end of this week, the county would wait to see what, if anything, the state might do.”
The state, which usually releases coronavirus risk tier assignments on Tuesdays, opted on Monday to start releasing that data “any day of the week” in response to the surge of cases, according to the state’s website. As of Tuesday afternoon, no new tier information had been released.
Here are the latest numbers, according to county and state public health officials.

- Case rate adjusted for testing volume: 27.0
- Test positivity rate: 10.5% (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.
