>>> GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

AS WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS MOVED INTO THE CDC HIGH RISK LEVEL OF COVID-19 .

THAT IS WHEN THE CDC RECOMMENDS EVERYONE WEAR A MASK WHILE INDOORS AND IN PUBLIC.

SO FAR LEADERS HAVE NOT SAID WHETHER A MASK MANDATE WILL BE REINSTATED.

SAN DIEGO HAD BEEN IN THE MEDIUM LIST SINCE MAY BUT RECENT SPIKES IN HOSPITALIZATIONS AND NEW CASES LED THE CDC TO INCREASE THE RISK LEVEL.

>> WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE UPDATING OUR RESPONSE.

>> Reporter: NOTABLE UPDATES.

YOU CAN SOON HAVE ACCESS TO A FOURTH KIND OF COVID-19 VACCINE .

A VERSION FROM NOVAVAX THAT HAS FDA USE AUTHORIZATION.

THE CDC IS RECOMMENDED AS EARLY AS THIS MONTH.

IT IS UNLIKE THE OTHER THREE VACCINES BECAUSE IT USES PROTEINS AND FRAGMENTS TO TEACH THE BODY HAD A FIGHT COVID-19 .

IF YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST WHOOPING COUGH, YOU PROBABLY HAVE A VACCINE THAT WORKS LIKE THIS.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A BROAD IMMUNE RESPONSE WITH THE BA.5 VARIANT.

IT IS THE MOST CONTAGIOUS ONE YET.

>> THERE IS FATIGUE, SORE THROAT, HEADACHE.

WE'RE SEEING THIS MORE WITH BA.5.

>>> OVER 50 SOME PERCENT OF THOSE ELIGIBLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAVE RECEIVED A BOOSTER SHOT.

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN ONLY GET A SECOND BOOSTER IF YOU ARE OVER AGE 50 OR IN CERTAIN HIGH-RISK GROUPS.

>>> IT'S ABOUT PRIDE, PRECAUTIONS, AND POLITICS.

THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRIDE BLOCK PARTY IS GETTING UNDERWAY.

IT IS THE FIRST YEAR BACK SINCE THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN.

KENNY ALVARADO WAS LIVE WITH MORE.

PRIDE IS BACK.

WE ARE AT THE KICKOFF EVENT AT HILLCREST.

IF YOU TAKE A LOOK PEOPLE ARE JUST GETTING OFF WORK.

IT WILL PROBABLY START FILLING UP REALLY SOON.

PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ARRIVE HERE.

I AM SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE MEETING UP WITH FRIENDS, GIVING HUGS.

AFTER LOCKDOWNS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN THROUGH, ORGANIZERS TELL ME THIS YEAR IS EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL THAN EVER BEFORE.

>> TODAY IS THE OFFICIAL KICKOFF TO PRIDE.

TODAY THE PARTY.

BREKKE SAID ON THE OUTSIDE THIS WILL LOOK LIKE A GIANT DANCE PARTY.

>> THERE ARE CHALLENGES IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

IT HAS BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL TIME FOR 70 PEOPLE.

WHAT A BETTER PLACE TO BE DURING THESE TOUGH TIMES.

REPORTING LIVE FROM HILLCREST, KITTY ALVARADO.

>>> THE NUMBER OF MONKEYPOX CASES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS RISEN.

THE DISEASE CAN CAUSE RASH, LESIONS, AND BODY ACHES.

IT IS MAINLY SPREAD FROM SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT.

WE SPOKE WITH ONE LOCAL RESIDENT WHO CONTRACTED MONKEYPOX TRAVELING IN SEATTLE.

HE SAYS PEOPLE NEED FASTER TESTING FOR THE VIRUS.

>> THE TESTING WORKED VERY WELL FOR ME.

I WAS THE ONLY CASE THAT DAY THAT I'M AWARE OF.

IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET ONE PERSON TESTED.

I AM AFRAID THAT IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES, THAT PROCESS WILL NOT BE STREAMLINED ENOUGH.

>> CURRENTLY SAMPLES HAVE TO BE SENT TO A LAB IN L.A. FOR PRELIMINARY TESTING, THEN THEY ARE SENT TO THE CDC FOR FINAL CONFIRMATION TESTING.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING HE LIKES ABOUT IT.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OVERSEEING THE SHELTER WILL INCLUDE WRAPAROUND SERVICES.

>> IT IS A RESERVATION ONLY SYSTEM.

IT IS NOT A WALK-UP SHELTER.

THE MORE VULNERABLE, THE MORE WE WANT TO MAKE THAT WORK.

WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THINGS SUCH AS COMMUNITY TIES.

WE'RE ALL HOPING THEY EXTEND IT AND WE CAN SOMEHOW GET PERMANENT.

>> Reporter: MORE TIME FOR BUSINESSES TO CATCH UP WITH THIS EXTENSION.
