Written by Julianne Foster<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond <\/span>posted an update<\/span><\/a> on the county\u2019s situation amid the COVID-19 pandemic and unfolding events related to the county budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

San Diego has seen an improvement in the number of cases in the county and has successfully stayed off the state\u2019s watchlist for over a week now. The positive test rate is only 3.6% positive, half of what the rate was a month earlier. A 14-day cycle began on August 18 to see if it’s safe to reopen K-12 schools for in-person instruction. The county is seeing many successes, but Supervisor Desmond and his team are continuing to fight for businesses to reopen for the sake of those unequipped to successfully function outdoors or those whose outdoor options are crippled by the recent excessive heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I want you to know that my staff and my office, we\u2019re working on trying to get some of these hurdles overcome and hopefully get some more businesses open,” said Desmond.<\/span><\/p>\n
