Health officials are urging people to wear masks in high-risk COVID-19 homes.
“I recommend that everyone wear masks indoors, especially if you do not have good ventilation, when transmission levels are high,” said Doctor Erica Pan and the California health department.
Omicron’s newer versions of the Omicron, B.4 and B.5, will probably be very different in California in the coming weeks, Drs. Pan believes.
“It seems to be more contagious than ever before, but thankfully we have not seen anything, here or in the world, that it is dangerous because it is not immune to vaccinations and previous infections,” he said.
Registered nurse Rhianna Kogut was wearing an N95 helmet as she pushed her shopping cart over her car after shopping inside the Vons store in Kearny Mesa.
“I feel like that’s what we have to wear to protect ourselves … it’s easy to find,” Kogut said.
Monica James, who also wore a mask, said: “I always wear it at the grocery store or in the box office, Target or Walmart.
Shopper Adrienne Tabor, who did not wear a mask, said: “She was not coerced, unwanted and I do not feel needed,” adding that in the meantime, she feels that COVID is improving despite the increasing number of cases.

Asked if he was worried about the new varieties, he said, “I’m not worried. I take care of myself, my body knows how to fight, I have enough protection. “
Dr. Pan warns people about COVID which has been around for a long time.
“I think there is a myth that you only take longer COVID if you are sick, but most people who have been on COVID for a long time get a little sick, then we have no predictors, and I think with the others. For self-defense,” Pan said.
