Siskiyou sees decline in COVID as some residents receive second vaccine dose
Mount Shasta Herald
Siskiyou County is seeing a decline in COVID-19 cases, but public health officials urge residents to continue protecting themselves by social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks until more vaccines can be administered.
Although a great emphasis is put on vaccinations, Siskiyou County moving down the state s Blueprint for a Safer Economy tier system depends on testing to concretely illustrate a decline in case rates.
As of Feb. 2, 6,527 COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in Siskiyou County from state allotments, Public Health Director Shelly Davis told the Siskiyou County Supervisors at their meeting Tuesday. Of those, 4,666 have been administered, Davis added. We have both hospitals participating, including Fairchild and Dignity Health, (which) are administering them to patients who meet the criteria.
