Yesterday county officials held their weekly news conference, which covered a wide variety of topics. Here are some highlights:
San Diego is not currently at risk of going back to the red tier. Overall case numbers and testing positivity are remaining stable, and ICU admissions and hospitalizations have decreased over the last 30 days.
The county is not aware of anyone in this region having an adverse reaction to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. A group of national health experts is meeting tomorrow to determine next steps for allowing continued use of that vaccine.
The county will not require returning college students in the fall to be vaccinated. Those decisions will be up to individual colleges and universities. County health officials are working with all of the universities to develop health recommendations.
The return of school sports has resulted in some outbreaks, but few cases overall.
