FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) As Fresno County moves closer to re-opening more businesses, health officials are monitoring the risk that a variant of the COVID-19 virus could pose. What we are doing is asking our medical providers to really share any atypical cases that they have with us - for example (people who) got COVID, then got better and then got symptoms of COVID again. That s a red flag for us, says Fresno County Interim Health Officer Dr. Rais Vohra.
Vohra says samples from those cases could undergo variant testing at a state lab.
