A
The
metrics
continue
to
improve
in
general,
there
is
still
a
drop
and
the
cases
continue
to
drop
from
week
to
week.
We
can
see
that
through
this
screen
that
we
have
here,
we
see
a
significant
drop
from
that
huge
rise.
There
has
been
a
67
percent
decrease
in
cases
since
January
18.
There
has
been
a
decrease.
We
have
about
136
cases
per
week.
Also,
the
percentage
of
positivity
continues
to
drop
from
19.6
to
15.5
this
week.
A
This
is
about
these
are
about
four
percentage
points.
Unfortunately,
the
mortality
rate
has
increased
to
8
deaths
per
100,000
inhabitants.
These
deaths
have
taken
place
in
the
last
week.
The
other
deaths
took
place
in
other
weeks,
but
were
delayed
in
being
reported.
This
again
means
an
increase
of
these
8
deaths
for
each
100,000
inhabitants.
Due
to
these,
these
delays
in
the
reports
to
anticipate
this
to
continue
to
fluctuate
through
the
next
few
days
and.
A
Weeks,
hospitalizations
and
hospitalization
indicators
are
showing
favorable
trends.
What
you
are
seeing
right
now
are
for
the
entire
county
region.
We
continue
to
see
a
decline
in
the
healthcare
system
from
meissen.
There
has
been
a
fairly
significant
drop
and
the
use
of
the
ranges
due
to
hospitalizations
for
cob
and
19
has
dropped
to
10
percent.
A
Now
we
are
seeing
less
than
10%
as
an
8.8
percent
area.
On
monday,
we
had
104
patients
in
total
in
the
sick
issuance
system
2
by
kobe
19,
that
is
a
decrease
of
about
196
patients
compared
to
three
weeks
ago.
What
we
are
observing
here
was
that
important
increase
the
use
of
the
icu
continues
to
decrease
by
less
than
30%.
We
are
around
25
with
7
percent
in
a
week,,
which
is
a
drop
of
5
percentage.
Points,.
A
The
colors
that
are
observed
here
in
this
table
can
be
observed
that
follow
We
are
going
in
a
favorable
trend
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
approached
2000
2022,
and
since
we
started
this
year,
this
has
really
been
a
new
phase.
With
regard
to
the
response
to
cob
and
19,
particularly
with
regard
to
vaccines,
we
have
almost
70
%
of
our
eligible
population
who
have
been
vaccinated
at
least
receiving
their
first
series,
and
56%
of
these
individuals
have
received
the
entire
series
a
booster
dose.
A
This
vaccines
continue
to
show
how
they
are
preventing
both
hospitalizations
and
deaths,
as
well
as
therapeutic
therapies.
They
continue
to
become
more
accessible,
which
means
that
there
are
fewer
hospitalizations
fewer
deaths,
especially
in
high
risk
people,
as
we
anticipate
the
pandemic,
continues
to
change
and,
as
such,
the
response
to
this
pandemic
also
changes
with
the
mouth
coverings,
probably
ending
at
the
end
of
the
month.
Public
recommendation,
given
that
we
are
continuing,
do
seeing
a
drop
in
cases
and
transmitted
transmissions
and
hospitalizations,
including
in
these
public
health
recommendations.
A
A
And
also
these
measures,
of
course,
work
best
when
we
work
together
either
through
comic
tests,
vaccination
etc..
We
know
the
kind
of
things
we
can
individually
do
to
protect
ourselves
and
other
people,
and
those
measures
can
be
followed,
can
continue
to
be
used
to
continue
to
prevent
contagion
and
I
also
wanted
to
talk
a
little
more
about
vaccination.
Efforts
against
cob
and
19
vaccinations
continue
to
be
our
primary
prevention
tool.
A
The
vaccinations
have
sped
up
a
bit,
but
if
we
continue
to
see
throughout
the
county
2300
administrations
per
week
for
the
last
few
weeks
and
each
dose
helps
strengthen
us
against
kobe
19,
particularly
against
hospitalizations
and
deaths,
I
also
wanted
to
share
the
hospitalizations
and
both
beds.
Regular
and
ICU
vaccines
continue
to
show
their
prevention
of
infections.
A
We
have
observed,
almost
70%
are
observed
in
the
upper
part.
Almost
70%
of
hospitalizations
are
from
unvaccinated
people
and,
of
course,
the
risk
is
much
lower
with
those
people
who
They
have
received
their
vaccine
and
the
amount
is
even
smaller,.
As
you
can
see
here
for
people
who
have
received
the
complete
series.
When,
we
look
at
ICU
hospitalizations,.
We
see
almost
73%
of
people
unvaccinated
and
22.27%
of
people
vaccinated
and
a
table
with
74
people
are
vaccinated
with
your
booster.
If
you
know
If
someone
or
you
want
to
come,
get
your
vaccine.
A
We
are
Tuesday
through
Friday
from
9
to
4
at
the
40
cox
health
department,
that
is
our
permanent
location
for
health
services,
and
this
service
is
planned
to
disappear
at
the
end
of
February.
2022
It
also
seems
that
we
are
observing
that
the
vaccines
for
children
under
5
years
of
age
are
going
to
stop
for
the
moment..
A
We
are
going
to
have
community
outreach
on
Saturdays
at
school.
On
January
22,.
We
had
more
than
90
doses
administered
in
assuming
surly
and
also
more
than
30
doses,
administered
feb
5
in
you,
yes,
roberts
in
high
school
and
then
feb
12
is
not
punk
or
in
high
school,
less
than
10
doses
administered.
A
And
we
look
at
those
efforts
through
an
outreach
equity
lens
community
partnering
with
community
health
workers
and
other
organizations
with
the
same
equity
focus.
For
example,
we
are
seeing
here
we
have
an
event
in
ma
rzo
with
healthcare
ticket
del
agua
and
itself
and
with
the
consulate
of
mexico
for
march
2022
to
have
a
vaccination
event,
and
I
also
want
to
remind
you
that
there
are
many
vaccine
providers
in
our
community.
A
A
And
to
close
today,
I
have
some
key
health
messages
public.
We
are
seeing
a
rapid
decline
in
cases,
transmission
and
hospitalizations.
It
seems
that
we
are
seeing
a
decline
in
the
micro
on
and
if
we
continue
to
decline,
we
will
continue
to
strongly
recommend
that
people
continue
to
use
masks
in
closed
public
spaces
again,
if
exposed
or
a
case
known
positive,
please
consider
getting
tested
if
you
have
symptoms,
stay
home
and
look
for
e,
a
provider
or
community
test.
A
If
you
get
sick
and
are
at
high
risk
for
serious
illness,
talk
to
your
provider
or
visit
the
website
again,
hh
19.11
that
point
gv
vaccines
work
to
prevent
serious
illness,
hospitalizations
and
deaths
consider
to
receive
the
dose
of
vaccine
that
is
missing
today.
Thank
you.
All
and
I
welcome
any
questions.
A
So
looking
at
the
information
that
you
have
shared,
only
56%
of
the
total
population
has
received
their
third
third
vaccine
from
booster
and
hospitalizations,
both
in
the
regular
hospital
and
in
the
ICU.
If
you
receive
the
booster
dose,
it
seems
to
dramatically
lower
your
chances
of
ending
up
in
the
emergency
room
or
the
ICU.
It
seems
that
those
people,
or
is
it
the
group
of
people
who
have
received
these
doses.
A
If
we
were
observing
that
the
vaccines
had
gone
up
a
little
and
I
think
that
was
because
people
were
on
vacation,
and
so
there
were
a
lot
of
interests
competing
at
the
same
time
through
our
messages
trying
to
share
the
importance
of
those
booster
shots
and
actually
doing
some
events
or
community
talks
about
food
in
general.
But
of
course
talking
about.
If
we
are
eligible
to
have
the
third
vaccine,
then
it
is
time
to
get
it.
Not.
Everyone
is
eligible
for
the
third
vaccine,
so
of
course,
as
they
get
closer
to
their
eligibility.
A
There
are
different
providers
in
our
community
as
well
that
we
continue
and
we
will
continue
to
follow
this
goal
as
we
pass
and
we
keep
going
in
this
2022
css.
The
goal
of
our
campaign
is
to
get
that
booster
dose
for
the
new
year.
We
will
continue
to
share
that
information
through
our
social
networks,
our
visuals
our
website
and
through
some
and
some
discussions
or
community
events.
A
And
Related
to
that,
I
am
aware
that,
with
regards
to
the
community,
we
cannot
set
specific
language
that
can
be
used
because
well
realistically,
as
commissioner
wells
mentioned
well,
it
would
be
preferable
if
we
can
use
the
same
language
we
want
to.
Let
people
know
that
they
are
3
vaccines.
What
it
takes
to
be
considered
fully
vaccinated,
but
not
necessarily
medically
s
it
's
like
you,
can
have
it.
A
B
I
know
we
have
news
discouraged
from
the
0
to
4
in
the
vaccine
situation
when
we
thought
someone
was
coming,
someone
was
asking
where
people
can
go
to
get
shots
wanted
to
ask.
Is
there
an
expectation
that
most
people
would
go
to
a
pediatrician's
office
or
should
involve
the
health
department
to
distribute
those
vaccines?
What
is
the
general
plan
for
when
it
arrives?
B
It
would
be
yes
and
a
large
part
of
the
vaccines
would
go
to
pediatricians
where
they
already
have
confidence
with
their
p
The
health
provider,
but
also
the
health
departments,
is
going
to
be
a
place
for
vaccines,
mainly
because
in
recent
weeks
our
pharmacies
have
been
administering
a
lot
of
vaccines,
but
the
department
does
not
allow
pharmacists
to
vaccinate
people
under
3
years
of
age
to
children
under
3
years
of
age.
3
years.
B
So
we
are
going
to
lose
part
of
that
population
then,
and
we
anticipate
that
the
health
departments
are
going
to
act
as
a
safety
net
with
the
ages
0
to
4,
who
are
not
yet
eligible
and
for
us
we
had
delayed
our
transition
to
the
clinics
in
anticipation
of
04-year-olds,
but
now
we're
hearing
that
delay
and
that
it's
probably
going
to
be
in
April
and
then
we're
going
to
transition
to
that.
While
we
get
to
that
eligibility
plan,
that
is
a
special
event
or
some
kind
of
special
arrangement
to
get
us
to
meet
that
need.
B
B
B
B
B
Didn't
send
this
to
you,
mr.
chair
before
the
meeting,
but
if
the
board
allows
the
term
to
lapse,
we
can
we
can
rescind
the
local
state
of
emergency.
That
was
the
emergency
plan,
so
it
would
just
be
a
motion.
If
the
council
decides
to
rescind
the
emergency
plan,
then
we
could
adopt
that
language
which
would
rescind
the
local
emergency
declaration.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you.
There
is
a
consensus
to
include
that
in
today's
talk
tonight.
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
B
There
was
another
question
someone
had
asked
me.
I
assume
the
mask
policy
inside
expires
february,
16th
that
still
allows
individual
businesses
and
organizations
that
want
to
continue
to
have
face
coverings,
a
requirement
to
use
face,
masks
inside
their
places
of
business
joy.
To
make
that
choice.
It
is
correct
if
it
is
correct
to
receive
a
phone
call
from
a
judge
that
he
wanted
us
to
mention
in
the
courts.
They
support
having
masks
inside
for
the
courts.
They
feel
it
is
very
important
because
we
are
dealing
with
people
who
have
to
report
to
court.
B
Often
it's
not
something
they
don't
have
the
choice
to
do
it,
they're
not
required
to
do
it.
So
they
shared
that
the
judges
think
it's
very
important
to
try
to
keep
cobit
out
of
detention
facilities,
because
it's
a
very
close
environment
and
it's
a
place
where
that
people
don't
have
or
don't
have
a
choice
to
be
there
or
not.
So
they
feel
it
's
very
important
for
now
to
maintain
that
policy.
B
And
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
going
to
adopt
anything
that
is
inconsistent
that
allows
them
to
make
that
choice
like
any
individual
business
can
continue
to
do
that
within
your
property.
Private
test
would
add
that,
but
not
just
businesses
but
offices
of
government,
also
because
we
also
want
to
keep
it
in
some
of
our
locations
as
well.
So
we
have
the
opportunity
to
be
to
the
public
who
have
the
choice,
but
individually
we
can
decide
the
policy
for
our
own
locations.
B
The
staff
are
prepared
to
share
which
locations
they
are
going
to
plan
to
do
that
right
now
or
at
the
meeting
tonight.
If
we
were
thinking
of
having
a
conversation,
but
specifically
our
libraries,
we
want
to
make
sure,
because
that's
our
conversation
that
we
have
on
a
daily
basis
at
some
of
our
public
health
locations.
We
want
to
continue
to
maintain
this
policy
at
these
locations
with
each
other,
and
let's
go
over
that
at
the
meeting
tonight
to
make
sure
the
public
is
aware
of
what
to
expect
going
forward.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,.
