Report lists community coronavirus outbreaks
Though health officials regularly release information about the number of COVID-19 coronavirus outbreaks being investigated across San Diego County, the specific locations usually have been kept secret.
But last week public media station KPBS published an investigation that revealed the addresses of 1,006 outbreaks that occurred between March and December.
Here are the 14 outbreaks reported in La Jolla’s 92037 ZIP code and the date public health investigations about them were opened:
• Butterfly Gardens senior facility, 5557 Soledad Mountain Road, Nov. 29
• Little Steps Christian Preschool, 6551 Soledad Mountain Road, Nov. 25
• San Diego French-American School, 6550 Soledad Mountain Road, Nov. 18
• Marshalls department store, 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, Nov. 5
If 2020 has proved anything, it’s that La Jollans don’t lose their fighting spirit.
As the world battled the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, locals hopped online or otherwise did what they could for various causes whether it be neighborhood character, racial justice or adapting to ever-changing public health restrictions to keep their businesses open. All of this without in-person entertainment, meetings and events and while staying masked and socially distanced.
Through Dec. 26, residents of La Jolla’s 92037 ZIP code had registered 833 cases of the virus. San Diego County’s cumulative cases stood at 145,779 as of Dec. 27, with more than 1,400 related deaths.
