COVID-19 case numbers continue to improve across the board here in San Diego County. Our testing positivity is now well within the red tier threshold. Cases per 100,000 in population are still three times the red tier threshold, but when you consider this number was 10 times higher just over a week ago, even that feels like good news. If we can keep this trend going, we can soon start planning in earnest for the next phase of reopening, which would be welcome news for everyone, especially parents of young children and our local businesses.
Looking at Carlsbad’s cases compared to other cities, per capita, we are still among the lowest. Not only that, but when other cities have peaked, our numbers went up too, but not quite as much. I can’t thank you enough for everything you are doing to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
