Getting a booster shot can protect against variants. Visit https://myturn.ca.gov/ to make an appointment.

The World Health Organization named the new version of the virus “omicron” and classified it as a highly transmissible variant of concern, though its actual risks are not yet understood. While the Omicron variant is cause for concern but not panic, you may feel more at ease getting a COVID-19 test. Testing is available at several locations across the county with options available to you at no cost. Visit the San Diego County website to find a location near you. https://bit.ly/3G3cqzs
