Three new community outbreaks reported Thursday triggered possible modification of businesses and activities.
San Diego County has hit one of three COVID-19 “triggers” that require public health officials to reexamine, and probably modify, the state of businesses and activities allowed to resume operation throughout the region.
Community outbreaks — clusters of cases that occur outside congregate living facilities such as nursing homes — are one of three immediate red flags that require Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health officer, to consider modifying her existing public health order. It appears that information on the three outbreaks on Wednesday was not yet available for that day’s news conference.
Wooten has said she has three general responses at her disposal when a trigger trips: make a tailored health order focused on curtailing the specific activities that are causing outbreaks to occur, pause the reopening of additional types of businesses and amenities, or revisit previous reopening decisions.A total of 417 cases and six deaths were attributed to the 39 community outbreaks, according to the county’s data.
