This week, Public Health Director Karen Elliot said that confirmed COVID cases in Tulare are about 87,386 due to the rise of Omicron, which has affected hospitalizations.
The case rate in the County is at 183.5, compared to 254.6 throughout California. The positivity rate is 32.3, while 21.2 in the state. However, the doubling rate has decreased to .99 percent.
Hospital admissions increase, causing healthcare workers to become infected and staff shortages. However, she assures that the state has provided Kaweah and Sierra View Medical Center resources.
The pandemic has resulted in school absences. COVID cases among students rose 40 percent, while staff increased 36 percent.
The Public Health Department provides schools with options for group tracing. Schools have allowed distance learning alternatives such as independent study to mitigate the surge.
Businesses have changed the threshold on mass events. Events with more than 500 attendees require a vaccine status and testing check indoors. On outdoor events, more than 5000 people require a negative test and inspection of vaccine status.
She stated that a large outbreak involves more than 3 cases during 14 days.
In January, the top industries in various locations in the County that have seen large outbreaks are as follows: Office work (18 cases), redistribution warehouses (11 cases), and retail (7 cases).
The department has continued the distribution of PPEs and posters. Last December, they coordinated with community partners to deliver rapid tests.
She noted that over-the-counter tests are available through CovidTest.gov, which arrives in 7 to 10 days.
Vaccination in the County has stepped up, with 61.1 percent of residents receiving one dose, while 49.6 percent are fully vaccinated. 34.7 percent of residents are eligible to receive the booster.
On variants, 99.4 percent of tests were Omicron. Cases of the Delta variant are on the decline.
Supervisor Shuklian asked her whether residents must have the vaccine at skilled nursing facilities. Director Elliot clarified that residents have a choice.
Supervisor Townsend also asked whether monoclonal antibody treatment would be effective against Omicron. She replied that they have an available yet limited supply of therapy against the variant.
On public comment, Pamela Silva spoke against masking and vaccine mandates. A registered nurse Joy Holte shared that myocarditis in children is temporary.
