COVID-19 cases have been on the rise for several weeks now, and the latest numbers show San Francisco has one of the highest positivity rates in the state.
"If I worry about it every day I'm not going to continue to live,” said Concord resident Shawnee Stevenson. “I just don't want to bring anything home."
According to San Francisco Department of Public Health data, there are currently 56 people hospitalized with COVID, seven in the intensive care unit -- that’s about twice as many patients as they had two weeks ago. "San Francisco risk is not only San Francisco risk anymore. It's the risk from elsewhere because a lot of people are traveling back and forth now,” he said.
He thinks COVID testing for small home get-togethers is also a good idea. And of course, get boosted if you're eligible.
