Hundreds of hospital employees in California are in self-isolation following COVID-19 exposure, amid a nationwide surge of the omicron variant.
"This reflects how contagious the Omicron variant is to the public and how important it is to be vaccinated, wear a mask, and socially distance," Thomas Utecht, M.D., the hospital's senior vice president and system chief medical officer, told the news outlet.
The hospitalization surge is also affecting patients as 280 of them tested positive for COVID-19, with about 71% of them unvaccinated, FOX 26 reported.
