Actualización del condado de Buncombe el dia 19 de octubre de 2021 sobre COVID-19
A
Hospitalization
rates
continue
to
guide
100.
We
have
seen
a
steady
decline
in
hospitalizations
and
intensive
care
unit
utilization.
This
is
encouraging,
as
we
may
soon
see.
The
same.
Encouraging
trend
in
the
number
of
deaths
in
Conclusion
on
the
subject
of
metrics
is
that
Concón
County
continues
to
be
an
area
of
high
transmission.
Despite
the
decrease
in
the
rate
of
cases,,
we
simply
do
not
return
levels
low
enough
right,
now,.
Having
said
that,
at
this
time,
we
will
continue
to
monitor
the
metrics
throughout
the
week.
A
before
we
make
any
kind
of
recommendation
regarding
the
current
local
mask
requirement.
But
since
we've
been
doing
it
for
months
now,
it
will
be
the
data
that
will
drive
our
recommendation.
If
I
want
to
talk
more
in
depth
in
terms
of
the
most
recent
new
cases,
the
total
number
of
cases
has
been
going
decreasing.
As
we
said
before
that
d
ije
above
this
is
the
same
across
almost
all
age
groups,
ages,
10-14
and
15-17.
A
Yes,
either
the
number
of
cases
is
decreasing,
the
ratio
or
the
distribution
between
the
age
groups
hasn't
changed
much
in
the
last
few
weeks.
So
what
has
been
consistently
true
is
that
our
age
group
of
25-49
year
olds
are
still
the
majority
of
our
cases
new
and
less
18
year.
Old
individuals
and
videos
make
up
24
per
cent
of
all
new
cases,
and
this
has
also
been
a
consistent
theme
in
recent
weeks
for
this
age
group.
A
What
I
know
has
had
more
vaccines
wants
to
take
a
moment
to
de
highlighting
vaccination
status
is
on
the
results
of
kobe
19.
As
we
move
forward
with
this
latest
high
variant,
increase,
vaccination
status
has
had
an
effect,
particularly
people
who
have
not
been
vaccinated
are
at
four
times
the
risk
of
getting
sick
Compared
to
people
who
have
been
vaccinated,.
A
A
This
shows
us
I
think
that
the
vaccine
against
cob
and
19,
that
is
available
at
this
moment
is
receiving
reducing
our
risk
of
getting
sick,
reducing
the
risk
of
serious
illness.
In
case
someone
gets
sick,
which
means
that
they
help
us
not
to
be
hospitalized
in
the
hospital
and
significantly
reducing
the
risk
of
needing
to
be
admitted
to
the
intensive
care
unit.
A
We
saw
the
largest
increase
in
our
vaccination
rates
by
age
in
group
since
1824
in
the
last
few
weeks
and
that's
actually
to
be
celebrated.
We've
increased
22
percent
from
the
last
update
from
56
to
58
percent
and
actually,
as
bank
county
health
department,
we
moved
our
largest
increase
in
acceptance
of
vaccination.
At
the
same
time
that
we
were
seeing
our
highest
number
of
cases.
A
When
we
were
looking
at
the
information
of
new
cases
that
were
coming
in,
we
think
what
and
those
numbers
motivated
people
to
get
vaccinated.
Since
then,
the
situation
has
been
relatively
stable.
We
have
reached
400
out
of
400
to
600
total
doses
each
week,
with
the
exception
of
the
first
week
of
boosters,
when
we
saw
a
higher
demand
for
boosters.
A
And
we
live
that
we
gave
more
than
a
thousand
doses
in
total
that
week
as
a
community
among
all
providers
of
vaccines
and
boosters,
we
have
reached
73%
of
adults
who
have
received
at
least
one
dose
when
we
look
at
the
eligible
population.
They
are
people
from
12
years
of
age.
Onwards.
We
have
reached
71%
of
eligible
people
who
have
received
the
vaccine.
At
least
one
of
them.
We,
anticipate
that
the
group
of
5
will
be
between
5
and
12
years
of
age,,
which
will
be
discussed
at
the
next
meeting.
from
fd
to
oct
26.
A
Before
I
go
ahead
and
change
the
subject
in
terms
of
vaccination,
progress
and
vaccination
efforts,
I
want
to
review
our
plan
from
now
until
the
planet
the
end
of
the
year.
If
anyone
you
want
to
get
vaccinated
or
you
do
n't
get
it,
you
don't
get
your
first
dose.
Please
go
to
myspace
together
at
that
point
or
gv.
A
You
can
also
come
see
us
at
our
location
at
45
from
cox,
road.
To
get
your
boosters.
We
have
a
variety
of
vaccine
providers.
You
can
get
a
vaccine
at
your
local
supply
stores
at
your
local
pharmacies.
So
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
remind
the
community
that
we
have
a
919
vaccine
that
is
waiting
for
you.
You
can
go
to
any
provider,
don't
risk
getting
sick.
You.
A
That's
very
good
news
if
you
haven't
gotten
your
flu
shot
yet
you
can.
Please
do
so,
though,
what
we
are
seeing
going
around
right
now
is
the
kobe
19
high
variant
as
well,
that
in
terms
of
respiratory
diseases,
please,
if
you
have
symptoms,
get
tested,
don't
assume
anything,
don't
assume
you
just
have
a
cold,
because
what
we're
seeing
is
circular
it
's
the
delta
variant.
So
please
get
tested.
You
can
find
test
providers
by
going
to
the
website.
Looking
for
find
my
testing
clay,
you
will
find
my
testing
place.
A
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we
talked
in
detail
about
the
vaccine
efforts
that
we've
been
doing
over
the
past
few
months,
focusing
on
the
efforts
we
made
this
summer
and
what
we're
doing
heading
into
the
fall
we're
just
going
to
review
current
Hoisting
those
boosters
today,
as
we
are
nearing
the
end
of
the
30
day
campaign
and
actively
planning
for
younger
children
to
get
the
vaccine.
To
recap,
we
have
administered
102,483
doses
in
Ponge
County.
A
A
The
numbers
month
by
month,
the
people
report
of
people
confined
at
home,,
we
administered
more
than
231
doses
since
march.
We
start
our
booster
vaccination
efforts
on
october
11th
through
provider
care
med
ex.
If
you
remember,
boosters
booster
vaccinations
will
start
in
intensive
care
facilities
on
october
25th,
we
will
be
supporting
two
facilities
each
week.
A
A
We
actually
saw
people
who
needed
support
and
resources
who
were
there
to
get
their
first
dose
and
also,
if
anyone
needed
to
be
exposed
to
their
booster
vaccination,
they
could
also
do
it.
There.
We
saw
40
individuals
who
received
the
first
dose
in
that
week,
using
this
association,
a
special
thanks
to
your
buffet
from
our
team
for
this
effort.
A
A
This
site
will
be
extended
until
on
oct
22,
and
we
have
an
outreach
program
with
the
hewitt
suite
congregation
through
oct
27.
We
embark
on
a
30
day
push
to
put
out
the
first
dose
as
a
very
granular
and
localized
campaign
to
highlight
our
local
vaccine
champions
coming
out
to
shop
for
groceries
or
who
lead
and
attend
churches
in
our
neighborhoods
people
who
coach
youth,
athletics
or
who
go
to
the
same
football
games.
We
attend
continue
with
vaccine
outreach
events
building
on
the
success
we
have
already
seen
with
our
school
associations.
Schools
are
a
place.
A
A
A
So
the
group
that
many
of
us
have
been
anticipating
for
a
while
now
is
going
to
be
the
youngest
kids
in
between
5
and
11
years
old.
The
f
of
a
is
going
to
meet
on
October
26
to
talk
about
this
possibility
and
is
going
to
discuss
this
option.
If
it
is
recommended
to
authorize
the
vaccine,
we
have
to
and
wait
for
what
it
does
and
the
cds
are
recommended
in
same
after
left's
recommendation
and
as
I
said
earlier,
we
are
anticipating
that
these
vaccines
are
to
be
available
to
children.
A
We
are
going
to
focus
on
geographic
access,
and
here
we
are
going
to
focus
one
week
on
central
location,
because
we
are
going
north,
east,
west
and
south
to
have
enough
access
points
for
our
community.
If
we
have
our
planning
call
number
3
with
the
schools
on
October
19th,
this
call
is
going
to
be
open
to
all
parents
and
children,
because
our
school
partners
have
been
very
generous
in
helping
us
trial
come
up
with
a
central
location
for
all
of
these
events..
A
A
For
six
weeks,
it
will
focus
on
children
between
the
ages
of
5
and
11
years
old
jesse
in
their
families.
So
we
are
going
to
have
a
vaccination
site
here
in
western
north
carolina
and
as
we
get
closer
to
eligibility
for
children
ages,
5-11,
we
have
three
main
focus
areas.
How
can
you
see
here?
I
asked
to
pediatricians
family
doctors
and
family
providers,
and
parents
and
schools.
A
We
have
a
meeting
for
the
beginning
of
november
and
when
we
have
approval
from
the
fia
and
the
cdc
to
be
able
to
provide
more
correct
information,
we
hope
to
be
able
to
talk
more
about
the
vaccine
and
about
exposure
to
cover
and
also
vaccine
communications
to
schools.
We
have
an
outreach
event
planned
with
geographic
distribution.
We
also
have
a
call
with
school
intubation
in
early
november,
and
also
this
is
a
summary
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
it
from
here
until
the
end
of
the
year
and
early
next
year.
