A recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Southern California has experts concerned, as many residents have become lax in following safety protocols. Tracey Benson, a caregiver from Inglewood, stresses the importance of remaining vigilant to protect her mother’s health. The spread of the FLiRT variant, which is 20% more contagious but less severe, is a cause for alarm according to infectious disease specialist Dr. Suman Radhakrishna.
California’s wastewater has shown high levels of COVID, and cases and hospitalizations have spiked in the past month. Dr. Radhakrishna reminds the public to learn from past mistakes and take necessary precautions, like testing and isolating if exposed.
Vaccination remains the best defense against the virus, especially for vulnerable populations. Benson urges everyone to follow safety measures and get vaccinated to protect not only themselves, but their loved ones as well.
As summer continues, it is crucial to prioritize health and safety to prevent further spread of the virus. Dr. Radhakrishna emphasizes the importance of staying proactive in the fight against COVID-19.
