The flu shot is a safe, effective way to reduce your chance of ending up in the hospital with severe flu. Help keep hospital beds open for COVID-19 patients by getting your flu shot at no cost tomorrow at the County Fairgrounds or another location: www.sccphd.org/flu

BREAKING: The number of Santa Clara County residents contracting COVID-19 and the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 continues to rise significantly, reaching record levels. As of today, there were 760 new cases of COVID-19 and 239 COVID-related hospitalizations, 71 of whom are in the ICU. Both the number of new cases and COVID-related hospitalizations set new records for the highest single-day counts since the outset of the pandemic. To reduce the likelihood of a surge in hospitalizations that would exceed the capacity of hospitals in the county, the Health Officer is announcing several changes to the Mandatory Directives that accompany the Public Health Officer’s Risk Reduction Order. Read about the changes here: https://www.sccgov.org//press-release-11-28-2020-public-he. Please share!
