The Salt Lake Health team is 🔥 ! We are getting #monkeypox vaccine out as quickly as we get it.

Give your #publichealth folks some love. These are the same people who respond to #COVID19 and are getting ready for #BacktoSchool2022 vaccines. 😅

#SaltLakeCounty We are in LOW #COVID19 transmission. Take the win! We are at risk for another surge with the BA2 variant. BUT, the #CovidVaccine works against BA2. Get your vaccine and booster. Thanks to Salt Lake Health, it is widely available and free. slco.org/health/COVID-1…

#COVID19 numbers looking better, #SaltLakeCounty ! ER visits for COVID-like illness and wastewater metrics are down. Still have high hospitalizations - 40 per day on average. But that is better than last week at 48! Vax, mask, stay home when sick. slco.org/health/COVID-1…

If you are looking for extra protection, CDC released solid information today on how much protection masks offer.

My five-year-old son thinks it’s funny that he locked me out of the house while I am watching the sunset on my deck with a glass of wine. Now alone. The joke is on him.

Wearing a well-fitted mask such as a KN90 or KN95 respirator—along with best practices like vaccination/booster and social distancing—is a great way to protect ourselves from Omicron.

Masks are available for FREE at @SLCoAging senior centers and The County Library branches.

A message from the SLCo Board of Health.

Salt Lake Health Lots of questions about school case rates. First table is Fall 2021 when testing was accessible. Second is first two weeks of Jan, when testing practices were drastically different -- making case rates incomparable. However % positivity is worth noting.

Let's talk about Utah Public Health together! Spoiler alert - it's more than #COVID . UtahAIDSFoundation

#DYK that every home in the U.S. can now order 4 free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests? Go to COVIDtests.gov to get yours!

¿Sabía que cada hogar en los EE.UU. ahora pueden solicitar 4 pruebas gratis de COVID-⁠19 en el hogar? ¡Vaya a COVIDtests.gov/es para obtenerlos!

SLCo, listen up -
Highest 14-day avg #COVID19 hospitalizations - 43.5 SLCo residents hospitalized everyday. COVID hospitalizations have doubled in 14 days. We can prevent further strain on our hospitals, schools, businesses, essential services.
Vax. Mask. Stay home when sick.

With the highly contagious Omicron variant spreading in our community, experts recommend you upgrade to a high-filtration mask, like a KN90 or KN95 respirator, for optimal protection. The County Library branches and @SLCoAging centers have respirators available at no cost.

(1/2)

Another record day of #COVID19 cases in #SaltLakeCounty - over 5,500. The number of kids being hospitalized due to COVID is increasing, 23 admitted yesterday. And we can't do TTS due to lack of testing capacity - losing another layer of protection. Vax. Mask. Stay home when sick.

During this surge, 50% of cases are unvaccinated and 40% are not up to date (boost eligible, not boosted).

Salt Lake Health has all brands for all eligible for free, no appointment.

Open 9-5 Sat/Sun-

South Redwood Public Health Center (84088)
