CHARLOTTE, NC – Health officials are monitoring the spread of COVID variants and the impact it’s having on children under the age of 16.
“If we let our guard down, that’s going to cause us to go backwards,” said Dr. Meg Sullivan, the Mecklenburg County Medical Director.
Sullivan urged people to get the vaccine all the while continuing to wear masks and distance. She says new COVID variants can spread quickly.
“At the same time that I think people are starting to feel better about where we are and start letting down their guard. That raises the concern that we’re not out of the woods yet and we could start to see those cases go up and that makes me very nervous,” said Sullivan.
