Urging caution. Unfortunately it was positive. Im one of the contact tracers from the county. Reporter jill is a covid detective with a deft touch. Did you have any symptoms yourself . Not really. Reporter informing people they have covid, quizzing them on their contacts and finding out what they need to stay isolated. When she started this work in june she was swamped. There was such a backlog. Since then we have sort of gradually caught up with everything. So yeah, it was really bad. August has been a much better month for us. We have seen reduction by half an hour case counts. Reductions in deaths, fewer outbreaks. Reporter july to august, a turnaround in marin, curving covid spread at san quentin prison in outbreaks among nursing homes. Positivity rates are dropping, but this morning against complacency. We are still vulnerable to losing the gains weve achieved if we relax too quickly. We have seen that happen already, that happened in the month of june. Lets take that as a lesson
