LAST June 29, 10:45 am Contra Costa County announced Monday that it is delaying the reopening of bars, some personal services, indoor dining, gyms and gyms, museums and tourism hotels.
The county had previously planned to allow these sectors to resume activities on July 1, but is now hoping to launch a new date when the COVID-19 outbreak “is better contained,” officials said in a statement.
“The seven-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals in the county increased by 75% from June 15 to 29,” the county said. “The seven-day average number of newly identified COVID-19 cases increased from 38 per day to 87 per day. The percentage of COVID-19 tests that tested positive also increased from 4% to 6%. This suggests the change did not It is simply due to more evidence, but to a real increase in community outreach. “

The state’s oldest correctional facility has seen 968 new cases in the past two weeks alone, according to data from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. This means that approximately 29% of the prison population of 3,507 inmates have tested positive.
“We are closely monitoring and quickly responding to positive cases of COVID-19 in state jails, including in San Quentin,” CDCR press secretary Dana Simas said in a statement Monday. “Additionally, we are working closely with California Correctional Health Care Services (court-appointed Federal Administrator), as well as public health agencies and stakeholders for the safety of our incarcerated population, staff, and communities.”
San Quentin did not have a single coronavirus case last month, but the cases began showing up in early June after a poorly managed transfer of inmates from the California Men’s Institution in Chino in late May. An outbreak has erupted in the past few weeks.
CDCR said in a statement last week that inmates were screened for COVID-19 before the transfer, but some tested positive after arrival. An investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the men “were not screened for coronavirus for up to a month before they were arrested by dozens.”
The inmates were moved out of the Chino facility due to a major outbreak and “to reduce density in housing and protect our most vulnerable population,” CDCR said in a statement.

As a result, we are temporarily delaying reopens scheduled for Monday. We saw 103 cases yesterday. On June 15, when we first reopened restaurants outdoor and retail stores, we had 20.

That is why it is important to follow the protection of health measures and use the tools we already have. Everyone should wear face covers, maintain social distance and practice good hygiene. “
