Frustrated residents lash out as city officials threaten crackdown on violators.
A simple orange plastic fence embodied the enduring divisions of an entire community Tuesday as the city increased enforcement of public health orders and promised that more is to come for those who refuse to comply.
Joel Day, senior advisor for the city of San Diego’s COVID-19 response and recovery, speaks to the press at Ocean Beach Veterans Plaza on Tuesday.Dr. Joel Day, a senior advisor to the city for COVID-19 response and recovery, spoke at the park Tuesday afternoon as city officials balled up the orange fencing in the back of a pickup truck. He asked the gathered crowd to socially distance and he emphasized the importance of individual responsibility to thwart the virus.
He said the city needed to work with the county for the elevation step because it had unique authority to issue cease-and-desist letters and closure orders. To date, local law enforcement agencies have been reluctant to fine those who keep operating after being told in writing to cease and desist. The San Diego Police Department and the county sheriff’s office, Fletcher said, have agreed to begin citing more aggressively than they have in the past.
Though there was plenty of heat down by the shore, the region’s daily COVID-19 report continued to cool. Just 182 positive cases, out of 5,669 total results returned, were reported to the county Monday for inclusion in Tuesday’s report. The last time the county reported fewer than 200 cases in a single day was June 22. After surpassing 5% over the weekend, the region’s 14-day average positive test rate has now dropped to 4.8%.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has previously signaled that his office will have to approve a broader reopening plan, and the county has signaled that it will follow the state’s lead.It’s clear, though, that there is still plenty of interpretation underway where public health order enforcement is concerned.Two North county mayors said Tuesday that the inconsistency among state, county and local laws makes health orders difficult to enforce.
