City of Scottsdale issued the following announcement on July 16.
COVID-19 by the numbers. Maricopa County has been tracking COVID-19 cases since Jan. 22, 2020.
COVID-19 cases decrease and vaccination rates rise. According to the Maricopa County Schools Dashboard, Scottsdale’s cases per 100,000 residents decreased to 53.9 cases per 100,000 residents for the week of June 27. Scottsdale is now in a second straight week of substantial community transmission, after seven consecutive weeks in moderate community transmission. For context, 53.9 cases per 100,000 means that there are about 140 new cases within the population of Scottsdale over that seven-day period. All other major cities in the Valley saw significant increases in their case rates.
Based on Maricopa County’s Vaccine Dashboard, vaccinations continue to rise slightly. Nearly 64 percent of Scottsdale residents received at least the first dose, while 58.3 percent have been fully vaccinated – a 1 percent increase from last week. Scottsdale still has the highest vaccination rates of the major Valley cities and is above the state and national rates as well. We saw the biggest increase in vaccination rates this week since the beginning of June.
