SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Hospitalizations related to COVID-19 continue to decline in the county, even as 1,489 new infections and 69 deaths from the illness were reported by county public health officials Thursday.
A downward trend in COVID-19-positive case rates hit a plateau Thursday. While just 7% of the day’s 22,162 tests returned positive, the 14-day rolling average rose to 9.2% from Wednesday’s 9%. As recently as Jan. 13, that average was north of 13%.
Thursday was the 59th consecutive day with more than 1,000 new cases, bringing the county’s cumulative COVID-19 case total to 232,970 and the death toll to 2,534.
As county leaders have said many times since the beginning of the pandemic, one day does not make a trend, but Thursday’s data does put a halt on dropping case rates.
