SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The city of San Diego announced a partnership with county officials Monday to address staffing and capacity concerns for a program that assists frequent 911 callers and reduces the strain on the county's emergency response centers.The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's Resource Access Program launched as a pilot program in 2008 and has both contracted and expanded since.The program connects frequent 911 callers, many of whom deal with homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse and other medical issues, to local health and housing services.According to the city, roughly 90% of people in the RAP who call 911 more than 30 times annually are homeless. Although the program's members make up fewer than 1% of the city's population, they generate roughly 20% of its 911 calls.``Using a data-driven approach, we are identifying those San Diegans who need specialized care and connecting them with the help they need so they don't have to call 911,'' Faulconer said. ``It's a shining example of how the city and county can work together to find solutions to our region's mental health crisis.''The program reduced its size in 2017 due to a lack of funding, according to the city. As a result, the number of patients with more than 50 911 calls per year increased from one in 2016 to 26 in 2018. Last month, the program added six new positions as the city and county aim to restore its effectiveness to a level similar to earlier in the decade.``Our region needs action tackling the challenges of providing mental health services and this city-county collaboration is critical to helping meet that need,'' Fletcher said. ``Teams of trained medical and mental health professionals from the county and city through the Resource Access Program can quickly take action to help people experiencing a behavioral health emergency. This partnership exemplifies a great spirit of cooperation and progress.'' 1926

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County public health officials have reported 306 newly confirmed cases Sunday and no additional deaths from COVID- 19, bringing the county's totals to 29,883 cases and holding the death toll at 565.No new community outbreaks of COVID-19 were identified Saturday. In the past seven days, 37 community outbreaks were confirmed.Of the 5,655 tests reported Saturday, 5% were positive. The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases is 5.3%. The state's target is fewer than 8% of tests returning positive.Of the total positive cases, 2,577 -- or 8.6% -- required hospitalization and 652 -- or 2.2% -- were admitted to an intensive care unit.According to county data, 57% of adult San Diego County residents have underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart and lung disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity. These conditions put such people at higher risk for serious illness should they contract COVID-19.Of the total hospitalized during the pandemic due to the illness, 71% have been 50 or older. The highest age group testing positive for the illness are those 20-29, and that group is also least likely to take precautionary measures to avoid spreading the illness, a county statement said."Some San Diegans think they're not going to get sick and therefore are not following the public health guidance," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer. "What they don't realize is that they could get infected and pass the virus to others who are vulnerable."An amendment to the county's public health order, which went into effect Wednesday morning, now requires all employers to inform employees of any COVID-19 outbreaks or cases at a place of business. Previously, the county recommended employers disclose outbreak information but did not require it."We are continually adjusting and making refinements," said county Supervisor Nathan Fletcher. "We believe most entities are acting responsibly, but this will ensure employers inform their employees."Speaking at the county's daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday, Fletcher and county Supervisor Greg Cox said the county is rapidly attempting to recruit more Spanish-speaking contact tracers and investigators and increase testing in the South Bay, where communities are reporting the highest rates of COVID-19 in the county. The percentage of Latino contact tracers and investigators hired by the county is currently 25%.The head of the Chicano Federation of San Diego County was critical of the county's response, saying it had not taken actions to reflect its demographics in contact tracers -- an inaction that could be exacerbating cases and reporting in the county's Latino population."We were told repeatedly that the county was working diligently to hire people from the community to serve as contact tracers, and that they were being intentional about making sure contract tracers and investigators were representative of the community. They lied," Chicano Federation CEO Nancy Maldonado said in a statement Wednesday."The County of San Diego has failed Latinos at every step of this pandemic," she said. "Lives have been destroyed because of failed leadership. The response from the county has been irresponsible -- and San Diego County's Latino community is paying the price."Latinos make up 61% of those hospitalized in the county from the virus and 45% of the deaths. They compose around 35% of the county's population.Cox and Fletcher also said they would bring a plan for a safe reopening compliance team before the full Board of Supervisors. The team would supplement health order enforcement, including investigating egregious violations, outbreaks and conducting regular checks of the county's more than 7,500 food facilities.New enforcement could include a compliance hotline for tips, additional staff for investigations and outbreaks and coordination with cities to send a team to conduct investigations. 3954

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County public health officials have reported 320 new COVID-19 infections and four more deaths from the illness, raising the county's totals to 50,143 cases, a milestone for the region, and 825 fatalities.Two women and two men died, and their ages ranged from early to late 60s. Three had underlying medical conditions.Of the 11,371 tests reported Friday, 3% returned positive, bringing the 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases to 2.8%. The seven-day daily average of tests was 10,127.Of the total number of cases in the county, 3,670 -- or 7.3% -- have required hospitalization and 849 -- or 1.7% of all cases -- had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.Four community outbreaks were reported Friday, two in businesses and two in restaurant/bar settings.In the past seven days, Oct. 3 through Oct. 9, 38 community outbreaks were confirmed, well above the trigger of seven or more in a week's time. A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households over the past 14 days.The county remains in the second -- or red -- tier of the state's four- tier COVID-19 reopening plan. San Diego's state-calculated, adjusted case rate is 6.5 per 100,000 residents, down from 6.7. The unadjusted case rate is 7.0, down from 7.2.The testing positivity percentage is 3.5%, the same as last week, and it is in the third -- or orange -- tier.San Diego State University reported that of the five confirmed cases added to the total case count on Saturday, three are new cases. The remaining two cases were previously reported to the county, but only recently identified through cross-referencing between SDSU and the county, as having an SDSU- affiliation.Since Aug. 24, SDSU is aware of 1,102 confirmed cases at the university and 68 probable cases. None of the COVID-19 cases have been connected with instructional or research spaces since fall instruction began. This brings the total probable and confirmed case count at SDSU to 1,170 as of Friday at 6 p.m., with the majority of these cases being among students living off-campus in San Diego.A health equity metric will now be used to determine how quickly a county may advance through the reopening plan, San Diego Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said Wednesday.A community can only be as well as its unhealthiest quartile, she said, and while counties with a large disparity between the least and most sick members of a community will not be punished for the disparity by sliding back into more restrictive tiers, such a disparity will stop counties from advancing to less-restrictive tiers.According to the state guidelines, the health equity will measure socially determined health circumstances, such as a community's transportation, housing, access to health care and testing, access to healthy food and parks.Neighborhoods are grouped and scored by census tracts on the Healthy Places Index, https://healthyplacesindex.org/. Some of the unhealthiest neighborhoods include Logan Heights, Valencia Park, downtown El Cajon and National City. According to county data, the county's health equity testing positivity percentage is 6.2 and is in the red tier.Wooten said the complicated metric will be explained further on Monday, when the state releases an official "playbook" of how it is calculated and what it means to communities throughout the state as they attempt to reopen.On Tuesday, the California Department of Public Health will issue its next report on county case rates.On Saturday, the county allowed private gatherings of up to three households, based on the state's new guidance issued Friday.The gatherings must take place outdoors. If at someone's home, guests may go inside to use the bathroom.Participants in a gathering need to stay at least six feet apart from non-household members and wear face coverings. Gatherings should be kept to two hours or less, the new guidelines state. 3975

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council's Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee unanimously voted Wednesday to send a set of proposed additions to the city's regulations on dockless scooters and bicycles to the full council for further consideration.The committee approved a handful of amendments to the ordinance at the behest of the mayor's office. The suggested changes include a rider curfew from midnight to 5 a.m., usage of one device per government ID, a fine structure and punitive actions for companies that violate city regulations and the elimination of the original ordinance's provision allowing for temporary fleet spikes during large events like Comic-Con.The amendments would also authorize the city to take actions like reducing a company's fleet size if it poses a public safety hazard or suspending a company outright for multiple violations and requiring the eventual use of geofencing technology to keep riders from traversing the city's sidewalks.RELATED: San Diego scooter ridership drops off dramaticallyThe council approved the original regulatory package in April after more than a year of complaints from residents about the need for oversight. The city sought to improve public safety while also keeping dockless mobility companies in the region as an affordable transportation alternative.The regulatory ordinance included limiting scooter speeds and parking in heavily trafficked areas of the city, operator permits and fees for scooter companies like Bird and Lime, documenting of scooter fleet size and data sharing requirements between scooter companies and the city.The city also introduced a webpage, sandiego.gov/bicycling/bicycle-and- scooter-sharing, giving residents the ability to view which companies operate in San Diego and contact information for each of them. The regulations went into effect in July.RELATED: San Diego City Council head calls for temporary ban on dockless scootersRepresentatives of scooter companies Bird, Lyft and Lime noted that ridership has decreased since the regulations went into effect and new issues have arisen, such as third-party scooter impounding businesses that charge companies high prices to retrieve their scooters and bikes.Bird Senior Manager for Government Partnerships Tim Harder said the company spends ,000 a week collecting scooters just from city-designated impounds."As the second market where Bird launched back in 2018, San Diego has always been important to our company," he said. "We want to stay in San Diego, especially with the new technologies that we are eager to test here that furthers public safety and education."RELATED: San Diego makes designated dockless scooter and bike spacesOne scooter company, Jump, left the San Diego market earlier this year due to its belief that the city could not effectively enforce its regulations and encourage good behavior by riders.Representatives from multiple companies, including Jump, and City Councilman Chris Cate suggested the establishment of a dynamic fleet cap that would limit companies that repeatedly violate the city's ordinance."In other cities, such as Santa Monica, that employ this kind of performance-based system, operators are focused on going above and beyond to demonstrate to city officials that they have earned the right to deploy more devices," Jump's Senior Operations Manager in San Diego Zach Williams said.City officials are expected to review the amendment package's legality before it comes before the full council. With only four meetings left before the council takes its winter holiday legislative recess, the council could wait to consider the ordinance until early next year. 3681

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The discovery of an unidentified and potentially suspicious object on the grounds of Lindbergh Field Monday prompted the evacuation of a non-public operations structure until a bomb squad determined that there was no safety hazard.The security measures at the Delta Cargo building on the southeast side of the bayside international airport began about 1:30 p.m., San Diego Harbor Police Lt. Victor Banuelos said.Officials cleared all workers out of the Airlane Road facility and called in the Metro Arson Strike Team, which determined that the object was harmless. The evacuation order was lifted about 3 p.m., according to Banuelos.RELATED: Suspicious packages found near San Diego Union-TribuneThe lieutenant said he had no description of the errant item that prompted the investigation.Operations at the rest of the airport continued normally during the incident, Lindbergh spokeswoman Rebecca Bloomfield said. 939
