Public Health and Wellness Advisories

San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) highlights several active advisories for the current week:

• CDC Health Alert (New World Screwworm): Following a nationwide advisory issued on January 20, 2026, local medical providers and residents are urged to remain vigilant. While no cases have been detected within the United States, an outbreak in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas has prompted increased monitoring of parasitic larvae along the border region.
• Medi-Cal Eligibility Changes: Residents are reminded that as of January 1, 2026, the asset limit test for Medi-Cal has been officially reinstated. This change requires beneficiaries to meet specific financial criteria to maintain their public health insurance coverage.
• San Diego Restaurant Week: The Winter 2026 Restaurant Week is currently underway through the upcoming weekend. This city-wide event promotes local culinary businesses and offers fixed-price dining options to the public.

Regional Transportation and Infrastructure

The following traffic and infrastructure updates are active for Wednesday, January 21:

• Interstate 5 Southbound (San Ysidro): Phase 2 of the $2.7 million safety improvement project at the San Ysidro Port of Entry remains in effect. Travelers should expect the closure of a single inner (east) lane of southbound I-5 through January 23. Commuters are advised to allow for significant delays when approaching the border inspection booths.
• South Bay I-805 Rehabilitation: Ongoing work to repair aging infrastructure on I-805 continues. Motorists should be prepared for intermittent ramp shutdowns and nighttime lane reductions throughout the South Bay corridor as crews address roadway divots and drainage issues.
