We have entered the final week of 2020. As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout offers hope, the virus’ path of destruction continues.

the diagnosis sentences a person to a weeks-long isolation, away from family, friends and roommates. Some suffer alone, in a hospital room. Others are able to return to their living spaces. But even then, home can become a haven and a confine.

2020 YEAR IN REVIEW: Coronavirus and its impact on the community dominated news cycle


The COVID-19 pandemic touched and impacted everyone’s life in some way, shape or form in 2020.
It began in mid-March, when the first case hit Kern County and Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order less than a week later.

Close to $1 billion flowed directly to businesses in Kern County this year as part of the Paycheck Protection Program meant to keep small businesses afloat amid the economic fallout of the pandemic, according to federal data released earlier this month.

In total, $900 million was given out to companies in Kern by the Small Business Administration in the form of 7,133 loans, according to an analysis of the data by The Californian.
