First case of omicron variant found in New Mexico
scientists are still unsure on how the omicron Varian will affect people in the face of uncertainty and with the holiday gatherings all around us, the best thing we can do is be extra cautious, vaccinated and unvaccinated people. These are some things you should be doing to protect yourself against the omicron variant this holiday season. Get tested before a family gathering as it is the most secure way to protect close friends and family, especially the elderly, keep your gathering small, continue to wear a mask and keep a safe social distance from others. Those unvaccinated or with any underlying condition should be extra careful. Vaccination continues to be the safest way to prevent any covid complications. So please consider it to protect yourself and others. If you’ve been vaccinated, start planning to get the booster shot. So far, 26% of americans have received it according to the CDC. And since thanksgiving, the biden administration has allowed shots to all adults aged 18 or over, regardless of any underlying conditions. Yeah.
