Print A class-action lawsuit accusing Sheriff Bill Gore of not doing enough to protect San Diego County jail inmates from the deadly coronavirus may proceed to trial, under an order issued by a Superior Court judge. The initial ruling by Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil came as the COVID-19 infection rate has begun to tick upward across San Diego County and the nation after notable declines this spring. The rise in cases is largely the result of recent slumps in the number of people choosing to be vaccinated and a new variant that spreads the deadly virus more easily. The legal complaint, filed in March by a group of public-interest lawyers, seeks to force the Sheriff’s Department to do more to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the county’s seven jails, including boosting the number of vaccinations or releasing people accused of low-level crimes.
