We report the first two cases caused by the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 (also known as Variant of Concern 202012/01, VOC) lineage in Brazil. The findings come less than 36 hours upon sample collection. Samples were immediately analyzed using a portable DNA sequencer as part of genomic surveillance activities from the Brazil-UK CADDE project. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis confirm two separate introductions of the VOC lineage in Brazil, possibly from the UK. One case reported no travel outside of Brazil. Given the higher transmissibility of the VOC compared to non-VOC lineages, increased genomic surveillance is urgently needed to investigate the extent of VOC circulation in the country. https://www.caddecentre.org/?page_id=15

County Reports Record-High Deaths as More Local Cases of New COVID-19 Strain Are Confirmed Credit: Shutterstock By Katie Cadiao, County of San Diego Communications OfficeDec. 31, 2020 | 5:15 PM The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency is reporting a record-high number of new COVID-19 deaths. The 62 deaths reported today well surpass the previous single-day record of 39 deaths reported on Dec. 22. Meanwhile, whole genome sequencing has detected three new cases of the United Kingdom variant of COVID-19, also known as B.1.1.7., beyond yesterday’s report. The three newly-confirmed variant cases reported today were initially identified by Helix during diagnostic testing, then confirmed by whole genome sequencing by Scripps Research. The new cases of the UK strain were found in men, two in their 40s and one in his 50s. Contact tracing shows two men did not travel outside of the county while the third case has yet to be fully interviewed. None of the men had any known interaction with each other or the other confirmed case. A household contact of the first local B.1.1.7. strain case reported yesterday has been hospitalized for COVID-19, with whole genome sequencing pending. The discovery of the additional cases leads County Health Officials to believe that the new strain of the virus is widespread in the community. The four individuals who have tested positive for the B.1.1.7. strain live in La Mesa, Mission Beach, Otay Mesa and the Carmel Mountain/Rancho Bernardo area. In light of the high case numbers and new strain being detected in the region, County health officials urge San Diegans to: Wash your hands Wear a mask Keep your distance from others and leave your household only for essential activities If you’re sick, get tested, and then stay home and isolate yourself ICU Capacity and Stay Home Order: The current intensive care unit (ICU) bed availability for the Southern California region is now 0.0% and will be updated by the state daily. The Regional Stay Home Order is in effect and prohibits gatherings of any size with people from other households and adds restrictions for multiple sectors. The order will last until the region’s ICU availability meets or exceeds 15%. Community Setting Outbreaks: 12 new community outbreaks were confirmed on Dec. 30: Three in healthcare settings, two in business settings, two in emergency services settings, two in faith-based agency settings, one in a food/beverage processing setting, one in a TK-12 school setting and one in a daycare/preschool/childcare setting. In the past seven days (Dec. 24 through Dec. 30), 59 community outbreaks were confirmed. The number of community outbreaks remains above the trigger of seven or more in seven days. A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households over the past 14 days. Testing: 28,183 tests were reported to the County on Dec. 30, and the percentage of new laboratory-confirmed cases was 11%. The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases is 11%. Target is less than 8.0%. The 7-day, daily average of tests is 21,379. People at higher risk for COVID-19 who are with or without symptoms should be tested. People with any symptoms should get tested. Healthcare and essential workers should also get a test, as well as people who have had close contact to a positive case or live in communities that are being highly impacted. Those recently returned from travel, or who participated in holiday gatherings, are also urged to get tested. Cases: 3,083 new cases were reported to the County on Dec. 30. The region’s total is now 155,595. 5,869 or 3.8% of all cases have required hospitalization. 1,216 or 0.8% of all cases and 20.7% of hospitalized cases had to be admitted to an intensive care unit. Deaths: 62 new COVID-19 deaths were reported to the County on Dec. 30. The region’s total is now 1,534. 26 women and 36 men died between Dec. 15 and Dec. 30, and their ages ranged from mid- 40s to early 100s. A total of 59 had underlying medical conditions, one did not have medical conditions and two have medical history pending. More Information: The more detailed data summaries found on the County’s coronavirus-sd.com website are updated around 5 p.m. daily. https://www.countynewscenter.com/county-reports-record-high-deaths-as-more-local-cases-of-new-covid-19-strain-are-confirmed/

By Los Angeles Times Staff Updated Dec. 31 9:50 p.m. Pacific 2,296,102 confirmed cases +34,113 on Thursday 25,984 deaths +573 on Thursday 335,983 vaccinated 1.1% of adults To better understand the COVID-19 pandemic, The Times is conducting an independent, continual survey of dozens of local health agencies across the state. What we know The holiday drove down new case counts. Many local health departments closed for Christmas. Tallies over the holiday weekend are not fully representative. Stay-at-home orders have returned. Most of the state, including Los Angeles County, is currently under stricter rules. New cases have been surging. Over the last seven days, the state has averaged 36,194 cases per day, a -4.1% increase from two weeks ago. Roughly 11.6% of tests this past week have come back positive. Deaths are on the rise. The state has averaged 290.1 daily deaths over the last week, an increase of 32% from two weeks ago. Hospitalizations have never been higher. Statewide, there are 20,625 people hospitalized with a confirmed case, 34% more than two weeks ago. Among those patients, 4,432 are in intensive care. Disparities in age and race persist. Roughly 74% of the dead were 65 or older. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.6 times more likely than whites to test positive.

For instance, some agencies do not report new totals on holidays and weekends, leading to lower numbers on those days. Over the past week, the state has averaged 36,194 new cases and 290.1 new deaths per day. Experts say the true number of people infected is unknown and likely much higher than official tallies.

On the cases chart, gray bars mark when errors in a state computer system delayed the tabulation of new cases. Where new cases are concentrated State officials study the latest data and then rate regions and counties to determine when and how businesses reopen. The government doesn‘t release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days provides insight into where the virus is spreading.

The first inoculations are being administered to healthcare workers who face the greatest exposure to the virus and residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. As of Dec. 31, 335,983 people have received the shot. Officials are still drafting a plan on how to roll out the vaccine beyond the initial group. It is unclear when essential workers and other Californians will have access. Phase 1 Healthcare workers and long-term care residents Doctors and nurses on the front lines are now receiving shots. Other healthcare workers and nursing homes come next in this step. Phase 2 Essential workers Emergency personnel, teachers and farmworkers are expected to be next in line. There is no start date. Who else will qualify is undecided. Phase 3 Everyone else It’s unclear how long the rest of California’s nearly 40 million residents may wait. Experts say shots may be readily available by late spring or summer. Testing After a fitful start, California has increased coronavirus testing in the state.

California in context To date, the United States has recorded 19,732,134 coronavirus cases and 342,246 deaths. In the last week, the country has averaged 181,229 new cases and 2,311 deaths per day. While California — America’s most populous state — has the nation’s top case counts, it ranks much lower after adjusting for population. Home to 12% of the country's population, thus far it has accounted for roughly 12% of cases.

State and county totals come from an ongoing Times survey of California’s 58 county health agencies as well as the three run by cities. Those figures are ahead of the totals periodically released by the state’s Department of Public Health. State officials acknowledge that their tallies lag behind the updates posted by local agencies throughout the day and do not dispute The Times’ method. Data on hospitalizations, tests, demographics and reopening plans come from the state health department. Nursing home totals include skilled-nursing facilities tracked by the state public health department, as well as assisted-living facilities monitored by the California Department of Social Services. Data from other states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico are collected by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Counties are organized into regions using the groupings developed by the state health department. The Times database is available to the public on Github, a popular website for hosting data and computer code. The files will be updated daily at github.com/datadesk/california-coronavirus-data. The data collection effort is done in partnership with journalists at the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Diego Union-Tribune, KQED, KPCC, CapRadio, Calmatters and Stanford’s Big Local News.

Three more UK strain cases confirmed By PAUL SISSON DEC. 31, 2020 6:05 PM Facebook Twitter Show more sharing options A waning 2020 delivered a final kick on the way out Thursday with the county health department announcing 62 additional COVID-19 deaths, a new single-day record arriving on New Year’s Eve. And there was an extra reason for concern. The county public health lab, working with local researchers, confirmed three more cases of the United Kingdom coronavirus strain Thursday, bringing the total to four, including the initial case involving a man in his 30s announced Wednesday. Officials said none of the four are related and had no contact with each other before testing positive. The three additional cases confirmed Thursday were all men. Case investigators have interviewed two of the three who reported no recent travel outside the country. Two of the three new cases were in their 40s and the third was in his 50s. The third case for whom travel information was not available had not yet been interviewed. They live in La Mesa, Otay Mesa, Mission Beach and the Rancho Bernardo-Carmel Mountain area. The county public health lab was still awaiting the results of genetic testing to confirm whether a close contact of Wednesday’s first UK strain subject, who was said to have been experiencing symptoms of coronavirus infection, also has the UK strain. Dr. Eric McDonald, medical director of the county’s epidemiology department, said Thursday evening that the subject, a woman also in her 30s who is the spouse of Wednesday’s UK case, has been admitted to a hospital after testing positive for coronavirus. Genetic testing being performed by Scripps Research will be necessary to confirm that the UK strain was involved, but that seems very likely at this point. “I would be shocked if it doesn’t come back with whole-genome sequencing that confirms it,” McDonald said. He said the three additional UK cases confirmed through genetic testing Thursday were actually tested between Dec. 20 and Dec. 22. Helix, a local company that the county contracts with for testing, looked through its records after the first case appeared and discovered the results as having the telltale “s drop” signature that marked Wednesday’s case. Having cases from different parts of the county that did not know each other, he said, shows that this strain, which is thought to spread more easily than other variants, has been among us for some time. “This didn’t just spread to that many different parts of the county among people who don’t know each other in the past two weeks,” McDonald said. “The dispersal of these cases geographically tells you that it has probably been in the county for a longer period of time.” With 99 deaths announced in just the past two days, December is by far the deadliest month of the pandemic. According to county records, 488 deaths have been recorded in December, more than twice the previous monthly record of 197 tallied in July. The most recent deaths announced Thursday range in age from 45 to 100 with three in their 40s. As is always the case, the deaths announced on any given day did not all occur the day before the announcement. It can take days or weeks for death certificates and causes of death to be finalized before they are reported to the public. Taking the latest group into account, records show that a total of 28 deaths occurred on Dec. 22, tying Dec. 18 for the deadliest day of the pandemic. McDonald said he reviews each and every death certificate before the county releases new numbers. Seeing so many in December, he said, has been particularly harrowing. “Every one of those is a person and has a family,” McDonald said. “What this means is that there are more and more San Diego families that are coming to grips with the fact that this is a real and deadly pandemic.” Deaths are what epidemiologists call a “lagging indicator,” generally occurring weeks or months after infections take hold. As such, a spike in deaths does not, in and of itself, say all that much about how a pathogen such as the novel coronavirus is spreading in a community. The number of new positive cases coming in daily provides a more immediate sense of the current pace of infection. The final COVID-19 report of 2020 lists 3,083 new cases, once again jumping over the 3,000 mark after three straight days below that mark. The result could signal the arrival of a new wave of cases connected to Christmas celebrations, given that the average incubation period for the virus — the amount of time spent in the body before symptoms generally begin to appear — is about 6 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pressure continues to mount on local hospitals with 1,580 total COVID-19 patients in beds across the county Wednesday. COVID-positive patients occupied 35 percent of the 4,504 total beds in use. Intensive care admissions held steady at 621 with 386 having a COVID-19 diagnosis and 235 without.

The three additional cases confirmed Thursday were all men. Case investigators have interviewed two of the three who reported no recent travel outside the country. Two of the three new cases were in their 40s and the third was in his 50s. The third case for whom travel information was not available had not yet been interviewed. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/story/2020-12-31/san-diego-county-ends-2020-with-largest-single-day-covid-19-death-total-of-the-year

First Case o MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Health announced Thursday night that the first case of the U.K. COVID-19 variant virus has been found in Florida. The infected individual was identified in Martin County as a male in his 20s with no history of travel. The Florida DOH is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate the incident. The U.K. variant of the COVID-19 virus has emerged with a large number of mutations and seems to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, the CDC said on its website. "This variant was first detected in September 2020 and is now highly prevalent in London and southeast England," information on the CDC's website said. "It has since been detected in numerous countries around the world, including the United States and Canada." Experts in Florida said they do not expect the U.K. variant of the virus to have a significant impact, if any, on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
