The outbreak is tied to the highly contagious Omicron variant.
At least 28 vaccinated people in Marin County have tested positive for the coronavirus after attending a holiday gathering at a restaurant.
Marin County public health officials said attendees at the Dec. 11 indoor gathering were not required to wear face masks because aprompted by Omicron had not yet taken effect, and because the guests were dining. “This is a glimpse into the way Omicron behaves,” he said. “This kind of outbreak isn’t going to feel like news soon.”Omicron has raced ahead of other variants and is the dominant version of the coronavirus in the U.S. Federal health officials say Omicron accounted for an estimated 73% of new infections.
Monson said that in nearly two years of running restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, he hasn’t seen anything “remotely as transmissible” as the Omicron variant.
