It's Still Important to Get COVID Tested, Says Public Health. Here are a Bunch of Places in Humboldt to do That

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
Humboldt County’s COVID-19 case rate is on an upward trend, and local health officials urge all community residents to get tested if they are experiencing symptoms and note that testing options have expanded to additional locations across the North Coast.
Humboldt County Public Health Director Michele Stephens said that even with progress in the county’s vaccination efforts, there are still a large number of residents who are not vaccinated and have no immunity at all against this virus.
“Testing is a crucial component of containing positive cases before they have a chance to spread so we can move past this pandemic,” Stephens said. “Here in Humboldt, we are fortunate to have lots of convenient and free testing options available to residents. Getting tested helps keep all of us safer, particularly those most vulnerable to severe disease.” ....

Noting that the Board of Supervisors has to ratify the declaration within seven days his issuing it, Sarina said he hopes it paves the way for a similar action at the state level. The declaration addresses U.S. 101 and the possible need for more resources if the landslide continues to impact the road, he said. ....
