vaccine booster shot to fend off what could be another jump in transmission of the virus as more people mingle indoors -- a setting conducive to infection.
"Those numbers need to increase pretty dramatically before we get into the holiday season or we run the risk of having more transmission," Ferrer said. Ferrer said the county will be closely watching trends in variants locally, noting that while the increases thus far are small, they could potentially spread more as people spend more time indoors during the winter. With more people mingling inside, "a variant that has an advantage in transmission and evades protections more easily will flourish," she said.
County officials have said that roughly 40% of those patients were admitted specifically for COVID, while the others were hospitalized for other reasons but tested positive upon admission.
