Reading: Health officer urges caution as UK variant cases rise in Yolo County davisenterprise.com/free/health-of… via @AllDENews

Lots of good comments here from Dr. Aimee Sisson of @YoloCountyCA 1/n

"Dr. Aimee Sisson is urging residents to double down on protective measures, including getting tested and vaccinated" - agree with her on this 2/n

"That trouble is in the form of growing numbers of more infectious variants" - yes this should concern people 3/n

And also “it is important to get tested regularly, even if you are not sick. - yes this is important too 4/n

And this is good too "Sisson also cautioned that individuals who develop COVID symptoms should get tested even if they’ve been vaccinated." 5/n

And this is good too "“Just because the state allows an activity, does not guarantee that activity is completely safe when it comes to COVID,” she said. “This is especially true where more contagious covid variants dominate like they do in Yolo County." 6/n

And also "I strongly recommend that organizations, businesses and individuals that host indoor events require all participants to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test, even when not required by the state" 7/n

And more. Good stuff from Dr. Sisson. Except one thing. She is still not requiring testing for the @djusd schools. And I think this is a serious mistake. 8/n
