SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A new COVID-19 check will begin operations Wednesday morning at the junction of san Ysidro’s port of entry.
The loose check site will run from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and will monitor the must-have staff and U.S. citizens living in Tijuana, according to San Diego County fitness officials.
No appointments are required on the site without an appointment, which aims to offer about two hundred consistent tests per day. The examinees will not be questioned about their immigration prestige or who lives with them, fitness officials said.
“We know that south bay communities have been hardest hit by COVID-19,” said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public fitness officer. “The location selected due to the accumulation of instances in the region and the number of people, especially an essential staff that crosses daily”.
San Diego County fitness officials reported 182 new COVID-19 infections on Tuesday, the first time fewer than two hundred new cases have been reported since June 22.
However, 8 coronavirus deaths were also reported on Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 602. Of the deaths reported so far by the pandemic, 96% had an underlying medical condition. The total number of COVID-19 instances increased to 33157 on Tuesday.
A scale in county staff is the first action used, followed by a prohibition and withdrawal order, and then a final order. If an entity refuses to close after this order, it will be quoted and fined $1,000, as the University Heights Boulevard Fitness on Tuesday, Fletcher said.
“The self-centered orders of public fitness only hurt those who act in intelligent faith,” he said. “It’s not a punitive preference.”
The county’s fitness also reported six outbreaks in the community, bringing the number of outbreaks to 29 in the week that followed.
The most recent outbreaks have been reported in a restaurant/bar, a gymnasium, two in offices and two in business, according to the County Health and Human Services Agency.
The number of outbreaks in communities remains well above the county target of less than seven in seven days. An epidemic is explained as 3 or more cases of COVID-19 in one context and in other people from other families in the 14 days that followed.
The number of patients hospitalized for coronavirus treatment was 333 on Monday, adding 112 patients in extensive care units. The lowest number of hospitalized patients were recorded in COVID-19 on Sunday since June.
Of the total cases in the county, 2,771, or 8.4%, have required hospitalization since the start of the pandemic and 694, or 2.1%, have been admitted to an intensive care unit.
The county case rate is consistent with 100,000 inhabitants as of Monday 101.2, while the state-reported rate is 105.3. Wooten said the discrepancy may be similar to the state’s use of a different time frame than the county’s knowledge or the fact that the state does not count inmates in correctional facilities in their county total.
The state’s goal is less than one hundred percent. The case rate is an average of 14 days and is based on the actual onset of the disease in each patient, not on the date the disease was first reported across the county. Delays in notification result in delays in reporting and reporting new cases displayed through fitness officials.
The county reported 5,669 tests on Tuesday, 3 percent of which tested positive. The average moving percentage for 14 days of positive instances is 4.8%. The state target is less than 8.0% positive testing. The average test for seven days is 8,362.
The next press conference scheduled through county fitness will take place on Thursday. No briefing will take place on Wednesday due to a county budget hearing.
Fletcher said the state’s electronic reporting formula disorders, which led to a delay in the effects of the checks, were resolved more frequently, but that a few more cases can be added retroactively to local and national case totals in the coming weeks.
Of all those hospitalized for the disease, 71% are 50 years of age or older. But county citizens over the age of 20 to 29 accounted for 25.5% of COVID-19 cases, the highest of all age organizations, according to county data. This age organization is also the least likely to take precautionary measures to spread the disease, authorities said.
“Some San Diego residents think they may not be in poor physical condition and therefore don’t adhere to public fitness guidelines,” Wooten said last week. “What they don’t realize is that they can simply inflame and transmit the virus to other vulnerable people.”
The age organization with the current number of infections (citizens over 30 to 39 years) accounts for 19% of COVID-19 cases in the county.
