Updates from the Alameda County
Public Health Department
COVID is still spreading in our community and Alameda County has experienced a slight increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations following the June 15, 2021 re-opening. Getting vaccinated and wearing face coverings are the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones from contracting COVID-19.
For unvaccinated community members, face coverings are critical in preventing the spread of COVID-19. If you are not vaccinated or are unsure of the vaccination status of those around you, please be safe and wear a mask.
If you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, please get your vaccine as soon as possible. The longer you wait to be vaccinated, the more you risk contracting COVID. The Alameda County Public Health Department’s COVID-19 Vaccines page provides an interactive map with vaccine availability by date and location.
