 URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE WEST MARIN COVID OUTBREAK PREVENTION TEAM: Since Thanksgiving there has been a significant increase in Marin residents testing positive for COVID-19. This increase in cases is continuing and there is great concern about the current holidays and that we will see a continued increase in cases. Our Healthcare system is at maximum capacity. The primary reason for increase in cases has been documented as private gatherings indoors. Please be vigilant and safe this week as we head into New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day.

Please comply with Stay at Home order: https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/#regional-stay-home-...
Ensure New Years Gatherings are safe. In-person gatherings should be limited to those people you live with.  However, virtual gatherings can include as many households as you’d like!  Additional ideas for alternative gatherings: https://coronavirus.marinhhs.org/safe-holiday-celebration-ideas

MENSAJE URGENTE DEL EQUIPO DE PREVENCIÓN DE BROTES DE COVID DE WEST MARIN: Desde el Día de Acción de Gracias, ha sido un aumento significativo en los residentes de Marin que dan positivo por COVID-19. Este aumento de casos continúa y hay una gran preocupación por las vacaciones actuales y que veremos un aumento continuo de casos. Nuestro sistema de salud está al máximo de su capacidad. La razón principal del aumento de casos es debido a las reuniones privadas en interiores. Por favor, esté atento y seguro esta semana mientras nos acercamos a la víspera de Año Nuevo y al día de Año Nuevo.

Por favor, cumpla con la Orden de Quedarse en Casa: https://covid19.ca.gov/es/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/
Asegúrese de que las reuniones de Año Nuevo sean seguras. Las reuniones en persona deben limitarse a las personas con las que vive.
