Dec. 29—Latest facts on COVID-19 in Modesto area

The overall number of COVID-19 patients declined Monday in Stanislaus County hospitals, but intensive-care units were near capacity.

The county's five hospitals had 333 confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Monday, down from 348 on Sunday. That is about 100 more than the peak of the summer surge.

There were just two remaining staffed adult ICU beds available, down from six the day before.

Eight more residents have died, for a total of 586 since the first in April, the county Health Services Agency said. The 158 COVID-related deaths in December surpasses the single-month high since the start of the pandemic. In August, 152 people succumbed.

A stay-at-home order started Dec. 6 because of tight ICU space for adults in Stanislaus and 11 other counties in the San Joaquin Valley Region. It was triggered when available beds fell below 15% of the total. Monday was the 11th straight day at zero.

Family of slain toddler gives out bikes, toys to children in need

in People

More than 35 bicycles and dozens of toys were given away to children in need in Tuolumne and Stanislaus counties over the weekend by the family of the late toddler Koltyn Sparks-Blackwood, whose homicide death remains unsolved nearly two years later.

The family gave away the bikes and toys Saturday afternoon in a parking lot across the street from The Junction shopping center in East Sonora. Tracy Gulcynski, Koltyn’s paternal grandmother, said it was their first year doing the giveaway using money raised from their annual Koltyn’s Ride motorcycle event in honor of the slain toddler.

“We miss Koltyn, and if we can’t shower him with gifts, we’re going to do it for other children,” she said. “It’s been a rough year for a lot of people, and it feels good giving.”

Other families and their children were invited to get a bike or toys via the family’s “Justiceforkoltyn” Facebook group, which they launched months after the toddler’s death on Jan. 15, 2019, while still awaiting results on his autopsy from the Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office.

LIVINGSTON, Calif. — A court says a chicken processing plant in central California that saw a deadly coronavirus outbreak must provide its workers with masks and follow a raft of other anti-COVID-19 health orders. 

A judge in Merced County on Wednesday granted a temporary restraining order sought by a union against Foster Farms. 

A virus outbreak at its Livingston facility — one of the world's largest chicken plants — killed nine people and sickened hundreds earlier this year. 

Foster Farms says it's already following safety rules and repeatedly testing employees for COVID-19, which has caused serious outbreaks at meatpacking plants nationwide.

New stop signs ordered for rural locations

in Around California

Acting on a recommendation by Caltrans, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors has approved all-way stop controls at four intersections in the Keyes and Turlock areas.

The four intersections are:

• On the Keyes Road freeway overpass at the southbound ramp;

• On the Keyes Road freeway overpass at the northbound ramp;

• South Washington Road at West Harding Road;

• South Walnut Road at West Harding Road. 

Caltrans recently conducted traffic safety investigations on the Keyes Road southbound on ramp and found that it met the warrants for an all-way stop. The study determined that five reported crashes in a 12-month period could have been prevented by an all-way stop.

Currently traffic is unimpeded for those driving on the overpass. That causes a lot of folks to make unsafe darts to turn left onto the freeway onramp.
