3. The County of San Diego advises to get boosted, test only as necessary, and work from home if you can. Confirmed COVID-19 case rates are up to 45,000 cases — a tenfold increase in just 30 days. Hospitalizations have also more than doubled, putting a strain on local hospitals. Health care providers offer testing to their patients and many neighborhood pharmacies offer same day testing as well. The County also offers no-cost testing public sites that are both walk-up and by appointments. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Press Release Desk)
