An increase in COVID-19 infections is predicted this summer for Marin County, a health official warned.
Dr. Lisa Santora, the county’s deputy public health officer, foresees the trend based on COVID-contaminated wastewater and coronavirus hospitalizations. She said the heat wave also could be a factor.
“The upside is that more time could be spent outside, but with the heat wave we expect more people to spend time inside in enclosed spaces with air conditioning, and without doors or windows open,” Santora said Wednesday.
