WITH UNPRECEDENTED SPREAD OF COVID-19, UP THE TOOLS FOR YOUR PANDEMIC GAME
Know how and when to isolate, test, vaccinate and mask

Berkeley, California (Friday, January 07, 2022) – You may just feel like you have the sniffles or a common cold, but you should treat it as COVID-19: stay home unless you get a negative test, isolate as required locally and notify those you may have seen recently.

For the rest of us, blunting Omicron’s spread and severity requires upping our game with the tools we’re already familiar with. Use boosters to stay up to date with vaccination. Double mask or, better, use an N95 or KN95. Meet outdoors with others and keep indoor spaces well ventilated. Budget your risk knowing that risk is extremely high.

These steps now take on greater importance as the hyper-infectious Omicron variant tears through our community, doubling the cases of even our highest previous spike. While these acts help protect you and those you love, they are particularly important for the vulnerable among us, such as the elderly or immunocompromised. [READ MORE]
