The City is excited to welcome a brand-new public art installation to Fremont. “Community” by artist Michael Clapper is located in Fremont’s Innovation District at the intersection of Warm Springs Boulevard and Tom Blalock Road. The design is based on the idea that the surrounding area is an integral new “hive of life” in Fremont. The new artwork was made possible by the City’s District Art Program. The artwork is intended to promote the area as a gathering space and highlight the Innovation District as a center for creativity and ingenuity. Residents, visitors, and those just passing by are all welcome to stop by the artwork to experience a new sense of “community”!

 COVID Corner
Stay healthy this fall and winter and limit the spread of COVID-19. As you gather with friends and family, keep COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses in mind:
- Get your flu and updated COVID-19 booster. It’s the best way to protect against becoming severely ill.
- Stay home if you are sick and get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms.
-
Check local conditions. Take extra precautions if you’re visiting a community with higher COVID-19 community levels.
- Wearing a high-quality, well-fitted mask (N95, KN95, or KN94) over your nose and mouth is one of the best tools to protect yourself from COVID-19 and other respiratory infections like the flu.
There are a few ways to access COVID-19 testing.
Whether or not you have symptoms, if you test positive you are positive for COVID-19.
- Follow isolation instructions and learn if treatment is right for you as soon as possible (treatment in pill form must be started within 5 days of symptoms starting).
- Contact your health care provider right away – don't wait until symptoms worsen
- If you can’t reach them or if you do not have a health care provider, a free telehealth service is available for all Californians through Sesame Care: Call 833-686-5051 (6:00 am - 3:00 pm, 7 days a week) or make an appointment.
- If you have symptoms, but test negative on a rapid test, isolate and test in 48 hours or get a confirmatory PCR test.
COVID-19 treatment and medical prevention information is available through the County's website and handouts provided to community partners and testing locations.
- To improve accessibility, Alameda County prioritizes educating residents of their options if they don’t have a health care provider or they can’t reach their provider quickly, including sharing information about California’s Test-to-Treat sites and the State’s telemedicine partnership with Sesame Care.
- If residents need help understanding their options, please call the Community Support Line 510-268-2101 or send an email.
The flu vaccine and COVID-19 updated boosters can safely be given at the same time and the County strongly encourages everyone eligible to get their doses now.
