I will be following along extra close to the @SanDiegoCounty briefing today @ 2:30

@SDSU Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Andrea Dooley is queued to speak.

This comes with 21 cases of student cases documented on campus since August 18.

Follow along for the thread:

Nathan Fletcher kicks off this pressing, Greg Cox will not be attending today due to previous commitment

Numbers for the County will go first -- SDSU announcement will come after the numbers

2-week positive rate is 3.8% percent

up .1% from yesterday

250 cases out of 7,606 tests reported today for the county

7 new deaths reported today... 695 deaths total

18 community outbreaks reported in the last 7 days... the goal is to have 7 or fewer in 7 days.

For today, 3 community outbreaks reported

1 in a residence
2 in restaurant/bars

Dr. Eric Mcdonald taking the podium now -- @SDSU time...

64 confirmed and probable cases among SDSU students, according to County since the semester began

"We have found some that are indeed linked," Dr. Mcdonald said about case connections at SDSU

They have identified one group of cases that are defined as a community outbreak, Dr. Mcdonald said

That group of students living off-campus is in quarantine, but account for a community outbreak

"we do expect more cases, but what is important is how we respond," Dr. Mcdonald said.

Dr. Mcdonald said that he's happy with the steps @SDSU students have taken once they tested positive, in terms of getting care and quarantining.

300 individuals are being tested per day at the County testing site in parking lot 17b

"You should not be scheduling or attending social gatherings that are not essential"

I wonder if Dr. Mcdonald is talking about parties...

No student hospitalizations yet, but most students tested ARE symptomatic, according to Dr. Mcdonald

Dr. J Luke Wood is speaking

ALL CLASSES WILL GO ONLINE for the next four weeks, according to Dr. Wood

200 classes were in-person before this.

Dr. Luke Wood says the SDSUFlex plan helped them make this adjustment.

"Our students are welcome to stay... any students that wish to move out are permitted to do so," Dr. Luke Wood said.

More than 130 spaces are available to house students who need to quarantine.

Students who wish to return back to campus will need to quarantine.

Library times will be restricted, outdoor seating will be implemented.

Dr. Luke Wood said students, again, are quarantining themselves if they feel symptomatic.
