Latest State & County Health Orders
12/6/22 - from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department
The County of Santa Clara wastewater monitoring program has detected a sharp increase in COVID-19 levels this past month. In addition to the County’s COVID-19 increase in wastewater samples, there was a steady rise of hospitalized patients who were COVID-19 positive in November 2022.
During its almost three-year history, the County’s wastewater monitoring program has proven to be an accurate indicator of rising and falling COVID-19 community transmission levels. Wastewater monitoring data has become even more important with the rise of at-home COVID-19 tests, which are not reportable and therefore don’t show up in official case counts.
Everyone is encouraged to check with their primary physician about receiving the flu and bivalent Omicron booster vaccines. Those without a primary healthcare provider or who are having difficulty finding an appointment can go through
www.sccfreevax.org for an appointment. With County locations, there is no cost to be vaccinated or questions regarding immigration status.
