I’d like to start today’s update by addressing the protests over the past several days across the nation and here in San Diego (including Carlsbad). I want to assure you that the City of Carlsbad Police Department is committed to protecting our community’s safety while facilitating a safe environment for demonstrators to peacefully exercise their rights. Vandalism and violence of any sort will not be tolerated. Now more than ever, this is a time for working together and listening to each other with respect. We all have a role to play in creating a better future.
COVID-19 updates since Friday
Carlsbad continues to have 76 total reported cases, same as Friday, however the number of active cases has gone from seven to five. As a reminder, the county doesn’t report out on active cases by city. We calculate this number by counting 14 days from the day a case was reported. This timeframe is a bit of a moving target, with the CDC now recommending 10 days, but we’re staying with 14 for now to be conservative.
As of yesterday’s report from the county,
•3,929 tests were reported by the county Sunday. 96 or 2% were positive. The new total number of cases is 7,481.
•The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive tests is 3%.
•1,324 or 17.7% of cases have required hospitalization.
•385 or 5.1% of all cases had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.
•Three additional deaths were reported over the weekend, bringing the new total to 269.
