We\u2019ve been tested before, but never like this. We\u2019ve faced catastrophic wildfires and other challenges, but the coronavirus crisis is unlike anything we\u2019ve seen in our lifetime.<\/p>\n
The County of San Diego, as the region\u2019s lead public health agency, has been moving aggressively to fight this virus and address its impacts on our families, businesses and communities.<\/p>\n
To keep our residents as safe and sound as possible, we\u2019ve ramped up critical programs and services, and we\u2019re drawing on our robust general fund reserves to help weather this crisis.<\/p>\n
Please continue to do your part. Remember to physical distance. Wash your hands. Cover your mouth and nose when you\u2019re out in public. If health officials order folks to stay home, then stay home.<\/p>\n
