Dr. William Tseng, Kaiser San Diego’s assistant chief of staff, said the loosening of intervention methods would bring an uptick in COVID-19 cases.
Tseng thinks that we’ll see more cases, but, thanks to the vaccines, not as many hospitalizations.
He said San Diego was a leader in the nation when it comes to vaccination rates but is falling behind when it comes to boosters. "When you wear a mask, you're actually showing respect because most of transmissions are from people who are infected to people who are out in the community," he said."So, when you wear a mask, you really are protecting others, more so than you're protecting yourself."
