COVID Cases Are Spiking Once Again In Alameda County Among the Unvaccinated
Alameda County, parts of which became early hot spots of COVID-19 infection in 2020, may be poised to become a hot spot once more as unvaccinated pockets of the county are seeking outbreaks of cases that are being mirrored elsewhere in the country.
