SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The National Institutes of Health awarded San Diego State University a grant of nearly million to build a center for medical research on health issues in San Diego and Imperial counties, the university announced today.SDSU received the grant from the NIH's National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, which supports schools that serve large populations of minority students. According to university officials, 31.5 percent of SDSU's first-year undergraduate students are members of at least one underrepresented minority.The .9 million grant is the second-largest the school has ever received, after a million federal grant the university received in 2014 to expand to the country of Georgia.NIH is expected to administer the grant over five years to fund construction of the HealthLINK Center, multiple research projects and annual seed funding for four researchers pursuing pilot projects."This a wonderful recognition of the faculty's excellence in health disparities research, and a significant opportunity to build on that excellence so that SDSU can remain a leader in this field for years to come," said Stephen Welter, SDSU's vice president for research.SDSU expects to work with local health care agencies and providers like the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, Family Health Centers of San Diego and Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo Inc. through the HealthLINK Center. Two professors, Guadalupe Ayala and Kristen Wells, are currently leading the project.Construction is already underway on the HealthLINK Center, which is slated for completion by the end of 2019. 1642

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Mexican government issued a statement Sunday expressing regret over Friday's shooting death of one of its citizens by a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the U.S. port of entry in San Ysidro.The office of the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego said it issued the statement on behalf of the Mexican government."The Mexican government regrets the use of lethal force against a Mexican national and will follow up on his death at the hands of federal immigration authorities," the statement said.San Diego homicide detectives are investigating the shooting, which occurred close to the international border near the Las Americas Premium Outlets mall on Camino De La Plaza at 5:45 p.m. Friday, according to Aaron Heitke, chief patrol agent of the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector.Paramedics pronounced the suspect dead at 6:25 p.m., Heitke said.RELATED:Man shot, killed by Border Patrol agent near Las Americas Premium OutletsBorder Patrol says Mexican national shot to death was trying to enter U.S. illegallyThe man was involved in an altercation with the agent on federal property, but it was unclear what prompted it, Lt. Andra Brown of the San Diego Police Department told reporters at the scene."During the arrest, an altercation ensued and the agent discharged his firearm, wounding the man, who was later identified as an adult Mexican national," Heitke said."Nearby agents and law enforcement personnel responded immediately and initiated lifesaving efforts until emergency medical services arrived," Heitke said.The statement from the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego said it "has taken action to guarantee due process in this case, in light of the fact that the family members of the victim have not been located as of today."The consulate said the San Diego Police Department will be in charge of the investigation, "even though the agents responsible for this incident are Border Patrol officers.""In an unfortunate coincidence, this incident follows another one reported on October 19, in which Mexican national Jose Alfredo Castro Gutierrez lost his life in an altercation with San Diego police officers," the consulate said. "The Mexican government, through the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego, is following both cases closely and has requested local authorities to conduct (expeditious,) impartial and transparent investigations to establish the facts and determine where responsibilities lie.""Based on this information, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs will determine the diplomatic and legal measures to be undertaken in defense of our Mexican nationals," the statement said. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deeply regrets the death of the Mexican national and reiterates its absolute commitment to the defense and protection of Mexican nationals abroad."Brown, of the SDPD, said Saturday, "As with any officer or agent- involved shooting that occurs in the city of San Diego, the San Diego Police Homicide Unit was called to the scene to conduct the investigation. It is still early in the investigation, but preliminary information is that the male, a Mexican national, attempted to enter the United States illegally and was confronted by a Border Patrol agent."Brown said the man fought with the agent, who received minor injuries during the incident."The agent fired his duty weapon, striking the male once in the torso," Brown said.The man has been identified, but his name was not immediately released. Neither was the Border Patrol agent's name immediately released."The investigation and review process for an agent-involved shooting are extremely thorough," Brown said. "The U.S. Border Patrol is cooperating with the investigation."When the homicide unit completes their independent investigation, it will be reviewed by the U.S. Attorney's office, Brown said."Customs and Border Protection will continue to fully cooperate with this ongoing investigation," Heitke said. "The specifics of this incident have been shared with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security, office of the inspector general, along with the Office of Professional Responsibility." 4172

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County public health officials Saturday reported 529 newly confirmed cases and four additional deaths from COVID-19, bringing the county's totals to 29,577 cases and 565 deaths.Three new community outbreaks of COVID-19 were identified Friday, raising the number of outbreaks in the past week to 40. One outbreak was in a restaurant/bar, another in a gym, the other in a government setting.The number of outbreaks far exceeds the county's goal of fewer than seven in a seven-day span. A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households.Of the 9,161 tests reported Friday, 6% were positive. The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases is 5.4%. The state's target is fewer than 8% of tests returning positive.Of the total positive cases, 2,551 -- or 8.6% -- required hospitalization and 650 -- or 2.2% -- were admitted to an intensive care unit.The four people whose deaths were reported Friday were men who died between July 24 and July 31. Their ages ranged from 55 to 82. All had underlying medical conditions, as have 95% of those who have died from the illness.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," Fletcher said. "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. 4430

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council voted 5-4 today to extend the rent repayment period for commercial and residential renters to Dec. 30, giving renters who have lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic a few extra months to repay back rent.Council President Georgette Gomez's initial motion Tuesday would have extended the repayment period for the eviction moratorium to March 31, 2021. Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell amended the motion to the December date as a compromise.On March 25, the council voted unanimously to begin an emergency eviction moratorium for renters. The moratorium requires renters to demonstrate through documentation that the pandemic has caused ``substantial loss of income,'' according to city staff. Renters are also required to follow rules in leases, but landlords cannot evict a tenant for nonpayment due to COVID-19.The moratorium expires Sept. 30. If tenants are in good standing with landlords, they can work out a repayment plan for back rent through Dec. 30, but otherwise things could get dicey for tenants.``We are all in it together,'' Gomez said before discussion of the motion. ``The economy is not fully restored. This is not an ideal policy, but it's a necessity for what we are dealing with.''Gomez represents District 9, which encompasses Southcrest, City Heights, Rolando and the College area. It has also been one of the most impacted areas during the pandemic.According to a member of Gomez' staff -- which gave the presentation on the topic -- the city had started 15,659 rental relief applications using federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funds. Disbursements from that pool of relief money are scheduled to be handed out in late August or early September. Those funds will go directly to landlords, however, and not renters.Council President Pro Tem Barbara Bry voted no on the motion Tuesday, not because she didn't agree that people needed help paying rent, but because the arbitrary nature of the rental relief program could leave the city open for lawsuits, she said. She added that not enough renters know the impact of not paying rent.``It's a cruel hoax,'' she said. Bry said that by not paying rent on time, tenants could be destroying their credit and leaving themselves with mountains of debt and no place to turn once the moratorium ends.In a public comment period, several dozen San Diegans called in, many urging the council to extend the moratorium -- which was not the motion in front of council -- and many to forgive rent and mortgages outright. About an equal number of landlords called in to urge the council to allow for evictions again, as many said they were paying two mortgages and not receiving income.The repayment plan extension to December will pass a critical few months, including local, state and national elections. On Nov. 3, San Diego voters will select a new mayor and five new members of its City Council -- something that could cause significant shakeup in how the city is run.``I think in three more months we will be able to tell better what the future holds,'' Campbell said. Councilmembers Chris Cate and Scott Sherman were opposed to the extension on legal grounds, as the gap between when the moratorium was passed to the date proposed in Tuesday's initial motion would have been more than a year. They claimed this could cause trouble for landlords trying to evict delinquent tenants or to collect back rent.Because the repayment extension passed with just five votes, it is susceptible to a possible veto by Mayor Kevin Faulconer. A six-councilmember vote would have made it ironclad. 3622
