If June was a month of reopenings (albeit, some setbacks) in San Diego County amid the coronavirus pandemic, then July was a month of the return of restrictions for many businesses as COVID-19 cases surged across California.
After hitting some COVID-19 public health triggers towards the end of June, the month of July 2020 began with San Diego County landing on California's coronavirus "watch list," which spurred reopening rollbacks across a variety of indoor sectors like restaurants, gyms, and houses of worship.
County leaders said community outbreaks continued to add to San Diego's COVID case count. As testing increased, so did the case numbers. San Diego County wasn't alone, as county after county in California battled its own COVID challenges.
Due to the surge, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced schools across the state would be unlikely to return to in-person instruction in the fall and local districts began coming up with plans for the 2020-2021 school year. Those plans are still being worked out as things continue to rapidly change during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, some businesses chose to defy the local public health order. County health officials were pressed on how they were managing to enforce the public health order. And that part is ongoing.
Here's a closer look, day by day, at what happened in July 2020 in San Diego County during the COVID-19 crisis.
COVID-19 Patients in San Diego County
As of July 30, 2020, San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) officials confirmed there had been 28,668 total positive COVID-19 cases and 558 COVID-related deaths since Feb. 14, 2020, in our region. We follow the county's daily update here; you can count on us to keep you informed.
As testing capacity increases in San Diego County, the ratio of positive cases to the total amount of people being tested will change but any increase in the number of positive cases as a percentage of total tests would indicate an increase in spread. Before mid-June, the county had a 14-day rolling average between 2 to 3% of positive cases, according to the county.
The county continues to move toward its goal of increased daily testing to any resident who wants a test. This allows health officials to better track the disease, particularly among residents who may not show symptoms of COVID-19 but can just as easily spread the disease.

June was a month of both reopenings and setbacks for San Diego County as community outbreaks triggered health officials to re-evaluate the city's public health order. To catch up on what happened in June in San Diego County during the coronavirus pandemic, read this.
Second Half of July
July 31
County health officials reported 380 new COVID-19 cases out of 9.066 tests, for a 4% positive rate. The total number of COVID-19 cases in the region is now at 29,048. The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases is 5.4%; the target set by the state is less than 8%.

San Diego Unified School District shared its plans for online/distance learning for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. You can read all about that here.
July 29
County health officials reported 282 new COVID-19 cases reported out of 6,899 tests, for a 4% positive rate. Five new deaths were also reported, bringing the region's total to 552 deaths.
Also reported on July 29: Six new community outbreaks. One was at a health care setting, three in a restaurant/bar, and two in businesses. The county was tracking 24 outbreaks in the past seven days at this point -- one of the highest counts reported by the county since tracking of community outbreaks began, and well over the threshold that activates the county's outbreak "trigger."
A San Diego County official confirmed there was an outbreak of COVID-19 tied to a popular San Diego gym that was operating in violation of the county's public health order last week.
At least three people affiliated with The Gym in Pacific Beach have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, a San Diego County spokesperson said.
July 28
San Diego County public health officials reported 14 new deaths related to the novel coronavirus for a total of 547 since tracking began. The deaths included six women and eight men, all with underlying medical conditions, ranging in age from early-60s to late-90s. All died between July 17 and July 26.
San Diego County public health officials continued to identify outbreaks in community settings, reporting that there were eight new outbreaks identified on July 28: Five at restaurants/bars, one in a gym, one in a nail salon, and one at a residence.
That brought the seven-day total of community outbreaks to 20, one of the highest counts reported by the county since tracking of community outbreaks began.
For the second day in a row, the county had an 8% positive case rate among total tests reported. There were 6,623 tests reported on July 28, with 498 new cases of COVID-19. The 14-day rolling average was 5.7%, below the 8% target set by the state.
There had been 28,005 cases of the novel coronavirus in San Diego County since tracking began.
July 27
July 27 marked three weeks since San Diego County was placed on California's "watch list." This was the earliest possible date that the county could've been removed from the list, but it was not.
San Diego County remained on the state of California's monitoring list due to a case rate that remained higher than what was necessary to contain the spread of COVID-19, County Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said.
The case rate on July 27 was 144 for every 100,000 San Diegans over a 14-day period. In order for the county to get off the state's watch list -- and move ahead with some reopenings, like schools -- that number needs to drop to 100 for every 100,000 people.
Health officials said San Diego's chances of doing that anytime soon remained slim. To do so, San Diego County would have to have no more than 234 new cases a day for 14 days.
On July 27 public health officials reported 523 new cases, for a total of 27,507 since the pandemic reached San Diego County and a positive rate of 5% over the last seven days.
The county also reported two new community outbreaks -- at a restaurant/bar and at a retail store -- for a total of 59 active outbreaks accounting for 981 of the county's total cases and 9 of the county's 533 deaths. No new deaths were reported on July 27.
Community outbreaks and the county's case rate were two metrics that remained "triggered" on the county's list of metrics that determine whether or not the county has a handle on the coronavirus pandemic. The third trigger that was activated was case investigations.
Wooten said that despite adding more than 90 new investigators in the week prior, the county was only able to make contact with about 10% of new cases within 24 hours. The goal is to contact 70% of new cases in order to determine who they've been in contact with and stop the spread. An additional 90 contact tracers would be hired by the end of this week, health officials said.
Wooten also reacted to a church that held an impromptu service on Cardiff State Beach without social distancing and many without face coverings in clear violation of the public health order.
"As in the photos that I saw, it really was a massive group of people gathering together without social distancing and without wearing facial coverings, so we will continue to address this egregious violation as we will others that have been brought to our attention," Wooten said.
Churches are allowed to operate outdoors while maintaining social distancing and utilizing face coverings. See her full reaction below:
July 26
Public health officials reported 283 new COVID-19 cases out of 7,505 tests, for a 4% positive rate. The county currently had confirmed, at this point, 26,984 positive cases of COVID-19. The 14-day average percentage of positive cases was 5.6%.

A record 18 new COVID-19 deaths were reported pushing the county's total to 505. The deaths represented 2% of the county's case total (25,107).
Three triggers that landed San Diego County on the state's watch list -- case rate, community outbreaks, and contact investigations -- were still active and had been active for more than 14 consecutive days. For case rate to be considered normal, the county needed to be reporting 234 new COVID-19 cases or less per day over a two-week span.
Twelve community outbreaks were identified as the county reported its numbers on July 22. The two newest outbreaks were confirmed at a business and at a health care facility.
Following a push to onboard more contact tracing investigators, the county announced it had hired 97 new investigators and was in the process of hiring more than 200 more.
The county's tracing goal was a seven-day average above 90% of close contacts traced within 24 hours. As of July 22, the county's percentage stood at 90%.
The county announced it was bumping up its testing goal from 1.5 tests per 1,000 residents to 2 tests per 1,000 residents. The new goal is to maintain a seven-day average of 6,600 tests per day. On Wednesday, the county's seven-day testing average was above 9,000.
County Supervisor Greg Cox said a Safe Reopening Compliance Team was being put together to help enforce the San Diego County Public Health Order among businesses, establishments and the public. The compliance team will educate in regards to the changing nature of the order, but will also respond to public complaints at specific places. Details of the teams were still being discussed and the county was seeking input from city leaders.

Read more here.
July 6
County officials ordered the closure of all indoor activities in San Diego at restaurants, bars, card rooms, wineries, tasting rooms, theaters, zoos, museums, and family entertainment centers. The guidance came after San Diego County remained on the state's watch list for more than three days.
Dine-in sections of restaurants, bars, and breweries that serve food were told to close, although, outdoor dining, pickup, and delivery were still allowed. Restaurants were told to "cease on-site food consumption by 10 p.m., with all customers out by 11 p.m.," per Fletcher.
However, bars and breweries were told, at this point, to close all operations, even if those operations were outdoors, Fletcher added. Curbside pickup for brewery products may still occur for breweries that do not serve food.

July 5
As expected, San Diego County was placed on the state's monitoring list. The county said businesses would need to prepare to close or modify operations effective July 7. Those restrictions would last until at least July 27.
Due to the July 4 holiday, the July 5 numbers released by the county combined two days-worth of stats.
County health officials reported a total of 1,030 new COVID-19 cases, for a total of 16,726 in San Diego County since Feb. 14, 2020.

Due to the holiday, the county did not release the latest COVID-19 numbers on the Fourth of July. With beaches closed in neighboring Southern California cities, many flocked to San Diego's open shorelines for the holiday weekend.
July 3
A total of 489 new COVID-19 cases were reported in San Diego County out of 7,307 tests with a 7% positive rate on July 3.

The county on July 3 reported 10 new COVID-related deaths, bringing the region's total to 387 since the pandemic reached San Diego County more than four months prior. Six women and four men died, their ages were in the mid-50s and late 90s. All had underlying health conditions.
July 2
San Diego County was told it would be placed on the state's watch list within days, meaning the reopening rollbacks were coming.
"Businesses on the state’s list should prepare to close or modify their operations since new restrictions could be effective as early as July 7 and would last for three weeks," the county said.
Indoor activity restrictions could be placed on businesses including dine-in restaurants (with service limited to outdoor, pick up or drive-thru), wineries and tasting rooms (can operate outside), movie theaters, family entertainment centers and cardrooms, museums, and zoos.
Ten new outbreaks were reported on July 2, including eight in restaurants/bars, one in a grocery store, and one in a business. The county said 22 community outbreaks had been reported in seven days, far exceed the trigger.
The 22 outbreaks represented 100 laboratory-confirmed cases, according to the county.
The County also reached its Case Investigation trigger because only 67% of investigations were initiated within 24 hours of notification over a seven-day period. The trigger is activated when the rate falls below 71%.
Yet another single-day positive COVID-19 case record was set on July 2 as the county reported 584 new cases. The new cases made up 6.8% of the 8,510 reported tests.
The county's positive rate per 100,000 residents rose to 112.8; that trigger calls for no more than 100 cases per 100,000 residents.
The county's case total since the pandemic began was at 15,207 positive COVID-19 cases as of July 2, and 377 deaths (with five new deaths reported on this day).
July 1:
San Diego County saw another record-setting day on July 1 with 474 new COVID-19 positive cases out of 7,825 tests reported, a 6% positive rate. Seven new deaths were also reported bringing the total to 372.
Thirteen outbreaks were reported in a seven day period. The county's trigger is reached when there are seven outbreaks in seven days. The outbreaks reported on July 1 included community settings like businesses/bars, restaurants, a healthcare facility, a grocery store, a private residence, and a business that prepares/handles food.
Dr. Francesca Torriani, Infectious Disease Specialist at UC San Diego Health said she is seeing a higher number of admission in acute healthcare, seeing a higher number of people coming in to get diagnosed and not needing a higher level of care, and is seeing an increase in the number of health care workers becoming symptomatic.
“We’re very, very concerned about the trajectory of this pandemic,” said Patty Maysent, Chief Executive Officer at UC San Diego Health.
Meanwhile, as COVID-19 cases surged across California, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered bars and indoor dining at restaurants to close in 19 counties. At this point, though, San Diego County was the ONLY Southern California county not on the state's monitoring list. That placement was looming. County public health officials said if San Diego County continued to hit the state's COVID-19 triggers, we would join that monitoring list and would need to impose restrictions again.
Wooten said she expected San Diego County to be on the state's monitoring list by July 3, and by July 6, she expected San Diego County businesses like restaurants and bars would be ordered to shut down indoor settings.
Ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, San Diego County was ordered to close all parking lots at state beaches.
