As COVID slogs on, seniors find fortitude waning and malaise growing

Omicron dashed the hopes of many older adults that the country was exiting the worst of the pandemic.

Individual school districts and local health authorities will be able to keep their own masking policies.

California’s long-awaited endemic strategy for dealing with COVID-19 could be unveiled as soon as Monday.

Alameda County's mask requirement has been in place since August 2021, when the Delta variant emerged.

California appears to be on the brink of one of its most dramatic shifts in COVID policy: changing school mask mandates.

Requirement lifted because 80 percent of all county residents have now completed their initial vaccination series.

The statewide mask mandate is set to expire on Feb. 15, and state health officials may not extend it in an endemic COVID strategy.

The county has one of the highest vaccination rates in the nation.

The vaccine has been available to adults under emergency use approval since December 2020.

With a positive rapid antigen test days after an infection, chances are you’re still infectious.
