“The grim milestone and recent spike in cases should serve as a reminder that now is not the time to let our guard down,” said Cameron Kaiser, MD, MPH, the county’s deputy director of public health. “Please make sure you are up to date on your shots and boosters, and consider a mask, especially if you are medically vulnerable yourself or may be around people who are.”
Health authorities advise the use of face masks mainly when traveling, in crowded interiors, as well as avoiding large gatherings. They also emphasize that vaccination and boosters remain the best defense against COVID-19 and associated hospitalizations or deaths.
