COVID-19 Case Statistics

The Fresno County Department of Public Health (FCDPH) has transitioned away from posting weekly COVID-19 numbers to this webpage. For the most up-to-date COVID-19 data, please visit the FCDPH - COVID-19 Data Webpage.

*The COVID-19 Data Webpage provides access to the full Fresno County Data Hub and the Vaccine Dashboard for up-to-date case counts, deaths, hospitalizations, vaccinations and more.

CDC COVID-19 Community Level

Please visit the CDC COVID-19 Community Level webpage for latest community spread indicator. These COVID-19 Community Levels help individuals and communities decide which prevention actions to take based on the latest information. Each level helps convey how much COVID-19 is impacting your community using data on hospitalizations and cases. To learn more of community levels, visit the CDC COVID-19 by County webpage.

Fresno County residents are advised to follow the CA Governor's orders to stay home as much as possible and only go out for essentials. Good public health hygiene at this time is important. Please take the following steps to protect your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our community:

Use a cloth face covering when outside the home.

Wash your hands with soap and water and use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. Cover coughs and sneezes and avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and common used areas.

Donate convalescent plasma when recovered from COVID-19.

Get vaccinated when the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to you.

Do Your Part

COVID-19 is a contagious disease that takes advantage of close contact. While disease transmission has dropped significantly, COVID-19 is still present and still deadly, especially for the elderly, immune-compromised and the unvaccinated. We must continue to encourage friends and family to get vaccinated, and keep up efforts to wash our hands frequently, wear a mask where required, and stay home if we get sick.

Vaccine Appointment Registration Assistance

Fresno County residents in need of assistance registering for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment may call the California COVID-19 Hotline at 1 (833) 422-4255 Monday-Friday from 8:00am - 8:00pm or Saturday-Sunday from 8:00am-5:00pm.
