December 30, 2021 (San Diego) – COVID-19 cases have spiked in the past 24 hours, with 5,976 cases reported yesterday, up from 3,650 cases one day earlier, County Health and Human Services reports.  To reduce the spread, County health officials are urging San Diegans to keep New Year’s celebrations small and limit them to family and close friends who are vaccinated and boosted if eligible to prevent the surge of COVID-19 cases that occurred last winter.

The County is also asking the public and businesses to continue following the current state and local guidance to slow the spread.

Dr. Cameron Kaiser, the county’s deputy public health officer, says given the record number of cases and rapid emergency of the Omicron variant, “If you have New Year’s celebrations, limit them to people who live with you and make sure everyone present uses the strategies we know work.”

FREE CAB RIDES FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE OFFERED BY LAW OFFICES OF ROBERT HAMPARYAN

 

Avoid holiday driving accidents by taking advantage of a free ride home

December 23, 2016 (San Diego) -- Far too many preventable vehicle accidents happen in San Diego and elsewhere around the country on New Year’s Eve alone. With holiday parties and a spirited atmosphere, it’s no surprise that drunk driving accidents reach an annual high as we transition from one year to another. Given the devastating toll that drunk driving accidents have for victims, the Law Offices of Robert Hamparyan is providing a complimentary cab ride to anyone in San Diego County who needs it.

The program will reimburse anyone who needs a safe trip home, up to a maximum of $30.00. Anyone who uses a cab, Uber, or Lyft is eligible to take advantage of the program. Head attorney Robert Hamparyan is hopeful that this program will help encourage calling in a ride and decreasing the number of drunk driving accidents on the San Diego roads on New Year’s Eve.

SOBER RIDE HOME OPTIONS FOR SAFE NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATIONS

December 28, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) -- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says 774 people were killed in California last year due to alcohol-related crashes. Don't become a statistic or endanger others. Use the phone numbers below to arrange for a designated driver, or for a free towing service to your home.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department will be out in force this holiday weekend with extra patrols and DUI checkpoints across the county.  “Celebrate the festivities with your family, not the in the jail or hospital,” the Sheriff urges. “Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a crime. You will be arrested. Remember, 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.' We will be watching.”
