Health experts recommend small, outdoor events for New Year's Eve due to spike in COVID cases
With the Omicron variant emerging as the most common and contagious strain, people are lining up to get tested for COVID.As the pandemic’s fifth waive continues, people are looking to get checked if they caught the virus during Christmas or to ensure they don’t have it before going out to party for New Year’s Eve.“It is a lot more contagious than Delta, it infects people who are vaccinated,” Radhakrishna said. “It also infects people who had COVID before.
“You’re better off being with a group of people who are all vaccinated, limit the number of families of households that gather together because that way you have some level of control in case somebody tests positive it’s easier to disseminate information,” Dr. Radhakrishna said. For anyone vaccinated and boosted who are not concerned about getting COVID, Dr. Radhakrishna is pleading for them to think of others.
