Southern California experienced yet another weekend in the winter COVID-19 surge driven by the Omicron variant.
In LA County this week, on average, the health department reported more than 40,000 new infections each day, with 1,000 more people hospitalized over the course of the last seven days.“One person who gets Omicron right now is easily infecting two and the rate of that speed is so fast. The individual is very contagious two days before the onset of symptoms,” said Dr. Jose Mayorga, the executive director of the UCI Health Family Health Center.
“It is taking a toll given that by now, we’re almost two years into this pandemic,” he said. “Our staff, we’re short because either they themselves are out because of the illness, or they have loved ones that they care for.”
