While signs of any potential Thanksgiving surge of COVID-19 and the flu won't show up until next week's data is released, cases for both illnesses are continuing to trend up in San Diego County.
"The time to act is now," said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, county deputy public health officer."Get your flu and COVID vaccines as soon as you can and keep yourself and your loved ones safe this holiday season. And remember that masks help reduce spreading both the flu and COVID-19."
An additional seven deaths and 3,455 COVID-19 cases were reported in the last week, increasing the county's cumulative totals to 5,569 deaths and 942,177 infections. The number of people in San Diego-area hospitals with COVID-19 decreased by 14 to 284, with patients in intensive care units decreasing by four to 26.
