COVID-19 cases in the state continue to rise steadily as counties further lift stay-at-home restrictions amid efforts to restore the battered economy
Health officials want you to get tested for the coronavirus if you’ve been to a protest or any large gathering where people haven’t worn masks.
Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer on Monday encouraged anyone who had been at a protest or large gathering to get tested. But she warned that when a test was done too early after possible exposure to the coronavirus, it could result in a false negative as there might not yet be enough of the virus to detect.
It’s unclear how many people have falsely tested negative for the virus. So far, more than 700,800 of the county’s 10 million residents have been tested for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Of those, 8% have tested positive, health officials say. If a person doesn’t have symptoms, Ferrer said, it doesn’t necessarily mean the individual is not a carrier.“I do want to say that there is, unequivocally, asymptomatic spread. So I don’t want anyone to get confused that people who are asymptomatic may not be capable of spreading. They are in fact capable of spreading. And we all need to keep that in mind.
