SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – For five consecutive days, San Diego County public fitness officials reported a case rate of less than one hundred positive COVID-19 tests consistent with one hundred thousand residents, but the state has said it will need to review the county’s knowledge of its watch list.
Previously, county and state officials had said that if the rate remained below 100, consisting of 100,000 (91.9 on Sunday) for 3 consecutive days, the county would be officially removed from that list.After another 14 consecutive days under that number, K-12 schools may eventually reopen so that they are not consistent with the schools each, depending on the parameters of each school district.
About 48 elementary schools filed waivers for the county to return to school early.
That schedule is now uncertain, as are the details of reopening certain businesses for indoor operations.
While the county awaits additional data from Governor Gavin Newsom, public physical activity reported on Sunday 334 new COVID-19 cases and there were no new deaths Saturday, raising the county’s total to 3,4678, with a death toll remaining at 626.
Of the 7,047 checks reported Sunday, 5% tested positive, keeping the 14-day positive check rate at 4.3%, well below the state target of 8% or less. The 7-day moving average of checks is 7,944 consistent with the day.
Of the total cases in the county, 2,856, or 8.2%, have required hospitalization since the start of the pandemic and 715, or 2.1%, have been admitted to an intensive care unit.
The county’s fitness also reported 3 new outbreaks in the community, raising the number of outbreaks in the week after 24.Services.
The number of network epidemics remains well above the county’s purpose of less than seven in seven days.A network-based outbreak is explained as 3 or more cases of COVID-19 in one environment and in others from other families in the 14 days that followed.
Latinos are still disproportionately affected by COVID-19, and this ethnic group accounts for 61.3% of all hospitalizations and 45.4% of all deaths due to the disease.Latinos make up about 35% of San Diego County’s population.
A new COVID-19 verification site began operating last week at the San Ysidro PedEast port of entry crossing, and County Manager Greg Cox cited his early good luck and application.
The loose check site will be open from 6:30 a.m. until noon Monday through Friday and critical personnel and U.S. citizens living in Tijuana will be checked, according to San Diego County fitness officials.
No appointments are required on the site without an appointment, which aims to offer about two hundred tests consistent with the day.Tested people will not be questioned about their immigration prestige or who lives with them, fitness officials said.
