The San Diego City Council Tuesday voted to end the city's COVID-19 emergency declaration and a city employee vaccine mandate at the end of February.
Mayor Todd Gloria, City Attorney Mara Elliott and City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert on Monday released a joint statement proposing to end the emergency declaration -- which had been in effect since March 17, 2020, under then-Mayor Kevin Faulconer's administration. Since that date, it has been renewed and extended multiple times by the San Diego City Council.
"We find ourselves in this improved state because, by and large, San Diegans did their part in the fight against the pandemic by getting vaccinated and following public health guidance," the statement added. As of Tuesday, the COVID-19 case rate in the county for not fully vaccinated residents is two times higher than fully vaccinated residents, with the hospitalization rate for residents not fully vaccinated being two times higher than fully vaccinated residents. The vaccination rate for city employees is 91%.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Oct. 17, 2022 that he will end the COVID-19 state of emergency on Feb. 28 -- finding that"California has the tools needed to continue fighting COVID-19, including vaccines and boosters, testing, treatments and other mitigation measures like masking and indoor ventilation," a city report read.
