– The increase in COVID-19 cases in San Luis Obispo County appears to be slowing slightly over the last week, and pressure on the local health care system appears to be easing slightly, according to the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department.
Local physicians, the coroner, and public health staff are working through pending records of more than 25 recent deaths that attending physicians have noted were caused by COVID-19.
“More than one in four people getting tested at our community sites are positive for COVID-19, which indicates the virus continues to spread widely,” said Dr.
Vaccines are available at no cost at pharmacies, doctors’ offices, Public Health Department clinics, and mobile clinics countywide.
