That will allow schools (K-12) to open in two weeks! It&#39;s a start and we need our businesses open too, but let&#39;s keep pushing, San Diego!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Supervisor Jim Desmond (@jim_desmond) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jim_desmond\/status\/1295836560055603200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 18, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says this new position is reflective of positive trends in San Diego&#8217;s COVID-19 data, including that only 4% of recent tests have been positive and that hospitals are holding up well below their maximum capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He notes, however, that having San Diego off the watchlist doesn\u2019t yet change the county\u2019s COVID-19 policies for businesses and churches. Unlike the specific guidelines for schools, businesses haven\u2019t been given a &#8220;trigger&#8221; for when they will be allowed to reopen, being left without state guidance or any clear idea of when they can resume business as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, Supervisor Desmond encourages San Diego that we\u2019re on a good trajectory, and to keep taking the safety measures necessary to return to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We\u2019re doing great,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Keep up the good work, keep up the social distancing, keep up wearing the masks, and doing all those things. We\u2019re getting our numbers down in San Diego County and hopefully we can get our schools, our businesses, and our economy all going together, safely.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond released another COVID-19 update in the form of a short video message last week.
