Coronavirus activity appears to be on the rise again post Fourth of July
Ten days after the Fourth of July, coronavirus activity appears to be on the upswing, according to San Diego County’s latest case and hospitalization numbers, pushing the region into the most severe level of the nationwide COVID-19 activity map maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Today, there are few counties in California not colored orange on the map, a designation that recommends people wear masks indoors. The state, though, has remained mum on requiring its previous indoor mask mandate. Sharp Health Care, the region’s largest health care system with more than 20,000 employees, reported that its collective number of employees calling in sick has hovered in the 500s for the past month, hitting 600 last week and reaching 567 Wednesday.
Dr. Ghazala Sharieff, Scripps’ chief medical officer of acute care and clinical excellence, said it is a similar situation at the five-hospital network. Staff are calling in sick at greater rates, but not in numbers that have yet forced any significant shift in services. Scripps Health reported about 100 sick calls per day.
