The number of COVID cases in San Francisco is on the rise and that has community leaders concerned about essential workers who take public transportation and may be especially vulnerable.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Mission Food Hub, a nonprofit serving residents of San Francisco's Mission District, announced Thursday that it began registering an uptick in people coming in for COVID-19 testing and vaccines about three weeks ago.
"The worst part of all this is people are calling us and saying they've got COVID and people are concerned because there's people that never got vaccinated," he said. "Especially the Latino and Black community, we know that we're at the highest risk because we're again the essential workers. We're doing work where we're not protected versus other people who can work out of their home, shelter at home," he said.
"A little bit of an increase in hospitalizations, an increase in the wastewater positivity, which is probably the best way we have to tell how much COVID there is around," Wachter. said."It's important to say though that the height of the uptick is nowhere near the kind of surges we saw in the past with Omicron and Delta."
