Slide presented at Jan. 12 Ventura County Board of Supervisors meeting.
The more contagious COVID-19 variant is likely in Ventura County, in small numbers so far, according to Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin reporting to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
"It picked a good time to come out," Levin said, noting that with the expanded rollout of COVID-19 vaccines this week, "we are on the right track to protecting ourselves from any negative impacts it would have."
In a follow-up with the Ojai Valley News, Levin wrote: "It (the COVID-19 more contagious variant) is likely pretty much everywhere, but also likely in most places in small numbers." However, he added, that there is not yet concrete evidence that the variant, first reported in the United Kingdom, is in Ventura County.
"This week is critical," Levin told the supervisors.
