A total of 4,110 cases were reported in the week ending May 4 compared to 2,977 infections identified the previous week.
"When large groups of people gather indoors, the risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 increases," said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, county deputy public health officer."Having all the recommended doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, wearing a mask indoors, washing your hands and taking other precautions is the best way to protect yourself and others."
"Vaccinations are still the best protection we have to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19," Kaiser said."However, treatments reduce the risk of hospitalization and death for people who get COVID-19, whether they have been vaccinated or not. Treatment is available throughout San Diego."Sign up for our News Headlines newsletter.
