Health officials have been reporting elevated daily case numbers in recent weeks, attributable largely to the BA.2 subvariant of the virus. An offshoot of that variant -- known as BA.2.12.1 -- has also begun spreading locally, and health officials said it is believed to be 20% to 30% more infectious than BA.2.

In light of the growing spread of the virus, county health officials on Monday urged employers to take steps to protect employees and customers from infections, such as providing well-fitting masks, improving ventilation, screening employees who may be experiencing symptoms and adhering to isolation/quarantine guidelines and reporting clusters of cases.

Virus-related hospitalizations have remained relatively low despite the growing number of cases -- something Ferrer has chalked up to vaccinations and previous infections that have increased immunity and prevented infections from leading to severe illness.
