Ventura County saw 160 new COVID-19 cases over the weekend, public health officials reported Monday.

No new deaths were tallied. The report covers data collected Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Since early March, when the first local infection was reported, 13,423 county residents have tested positive for coronavirus. Of those, 12,595 people have recovered. Another 670 residents with active cases were under quarantine, according to Monday’s tally.

The deaths of 158 residents have been attributed to complications of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Most patients who died also had other medical conditions, public health officials have said.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida’s Department of Health on Monday reported 1,533 new cases of COVID-19 and 48 additional deaths after a weekend of cleaning the data.

Monday’s number represents a drop-off in deaths and new cases. Florida had been averaging about 2,400 cases and 90 deaths per day on the state reports.

The newly reported data comes after Florida health officials announced Saturday they were delaying the release of the coronavirus report because a laboratory on Friday night dumped about 400,000 test results that had previously been submitted. The data dump damaged the ability to accurately process the state’s much-watched pandemic data.

Initially, officials blamed the problem on a private company called Helix Laboratory, saying it would take time to “de-duplicate” the results. On Sunday, health officials re-reported Friday’s numbers along with Saturday’s numbers.

But Monday, the Florida Department of Health changed its previous explanation and said the private

A council leader has warned a delay to new local lockdown measures in the north of England will encourage a “final weekend of partying”.

Reports emerged on Thursday that pubs and restaurants would be shut down in many northern cities from Monday amid surging cases.

David Mellen, Nottingham council leader, warned ministers the delay in bringing in the new plans, which were leaked to a number of newspapers, will mean another weekend where people can mix and risk spreading COVID-19.

Nottingham is facing enhanced restrictions after a sharp rise in cases.

Asked whether people will have “one last blowout” before the hospitality shutdown, Mellen told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Absolutely. That is our concern, absolutely.”

During this flu season, it is more important than ever to do your part to help protect you and those around you from this deadly illness. The flu season in our region typically begins at the end of October and lasts through April. The sooner you get your flu shot, the better you will be prepared for it. This is even more concerning given the combination of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a busy flu season. This combination could easily overwhelm the health care system.

Many respiratory viruses, including both influenza and COVID-19, have similar symptoms, including cough, sore throat, shortness of breath and fever. The hallmark of the flu is sudden onset and intense muscle aches, which is not typically the case with COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses. While COVID-19 has a similar set of symptoms, some patients experience a rapid deterioration from a respiratory perspective which is less

White House: No “Public Health Value” in Revealing If Trump Still Has COVID-19 (Even If He Holds a Rally This Weekend)

As Donald Trump muses about holding a campaign rally in Florida on Saturday and Pennsylvania on Sunday night, a reasonable question for the White House to answer would be if the president has actually tested negative for COVID-19, given that it is transmitted through the air and campaign events of yore have been mask-free affairs with supporters packed in as tightly as possible. Furthermore, it would be helpful to reveal when the president last tested negative prior to his diagnosis last week, as it could inform people who interacted with him if they were exposed to the virus. But according to the administration, that’s private information that the public is not privy to!

Speaking to MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson on Friday, White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern spent an entire segment refusing to say when Trump last tested negative, despite Jackson asking him half a dozen times. “Why not be more transparent

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — If you are wondering if rain is still on the way for the Bay Area?

ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco says it looks like chances of wet weather for this weekend are drying up, bringing little relief for firefighters battling wildfires in the region.

Nicco is tracking two forecasts, right now. Unfortunately, he says the European model, which was the wettest, is trending dry.

Future radar shows “at midnight Friday, the storm system is a lot farther to the west and it just kind of falls apart as we head through the morning hours and into the evening.”

You can expect cooler temperatures in the afternoon hours.

“There’s a slight change of some drizzle,” said Nicco. But it’s not much.

“Our next system is looking like a Saturday event, but not the good healthy rain that we were hoping for,” added Nicco.
