EVEN THOUGH THE PANDEMIC IS OVER, THERE ARE STILL NEW CASES OF COVID-19 BEING REPORTED EACH WEEK IN SIOUXLAND.
TYLER BROCK, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SIOUXLAND DISTRICT HEALTH, SAYS CASE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP IN SIOUX CITY RECENTLY:
TYLER1 OC…….EVERYWHERE ELSE. :17
BROCK SAYS MOST OF THOSE CASES HAVE GENERALLY NOT BEEN VERY SEVERE:
TYLER2 OC………DIDN’T FOLLOW THAT. :19
HE SAYS THE INCREASING IN HOME TESTING MAY HAVE ALSO SKEWED THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES BEING REPORTED.
YOU CAN ALSO STILL GET A BOOSTER SHOT OR YOUR FIRST VACCINE DOSE IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD ONE YET:
TYLER3 OC……….FOR EVERYBODY. :22
NOW THERE’S A VACCINE FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE.
BROCK SAYS THEY HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOSES OF THAT VACCINE, AND SOME RESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN IN TO BE VACCINATED
TYLER4 OC…….IS BEST. :27
MEANWHILE BROCK SAYS FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR SIOUXLAND HAD A MILD FLU SEASON. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE MORE CASES THIS YEAR THAN IN 2021.
