California Covid Test Positivity, Cases Begin To Rise Once Again As More Transmissible BA.2 Omicron Variant Takes Hold Of Region

After two-plus years of the Covid pandemic and drought, the largest fires in recorded history and a recall election in California, Governor Gavin Newsom left yesterday for two-weeks to Central and South America with his family. Bad timing.

County Department of Public Health has not yet released its numbers today, the state’s dashboard indicates that, from a 542 new cases one week ago, the county’s daily tally stands at 1,040 today, up from 784 yesterday.
