The Center Reminds all to Take Safety Precautions

May 17th, 2022

(Posted 5/17/2022) The Center reminds all to take safety precautions

The Bay Area has California’s highest COVID infection rates, which continue to rise. Health Officers are stressing the importance of taking safety precautions, including continued mask-wearing indoors. The current wave is fueled by highly contagious Omicron sub-variants. Actual case rates are higher than those reported due to the widespread use of home tests.

These health officers reiterate their continued support for people to mask up indoors, keep tests handy and ensure they are up to date on vaccinations by getting boosters when eligible. Link to SF.gov news article

 

Masks are not required

BUT STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

We also encourage getting vaccinated and boosted, if eligible

Please pre-register for programs to avoid wait times 

                                             

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN HELPING TO KEEP EVERYONE HEALTHY AND SAFE.

 

The Center will continue to follow the advice of health officials and adjust our policies accordingly.
