SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) As COVID-19 casts a shadow over the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday, health officials in Santa Clara County are urging the public to resist any temptation to gather in groups. We saw a spike after Thanksgiving, we saw a spike after Christmas, and we do not want to see a spike after Lunar New Year, said Betty Duong, a spokesperson with the Santa Clara County Emergency Operations Center, during a press conference outside Grand Century Mall Wednesday morning.
San Jose is home to the largest Vietnamese population within a city outside the country of Vietnam. In fact, 10% of the city s population is Vietnamese, and the majority of them will be celebrating the Lunar New Year in some form or fashion starting on Friday. That s why county officials are teaming up with various community groups to help educate the public about the ongoing dangers associated with COVID-19.
Santa Clara County is struggling to vaccinate residents as hospitals and clinics deal with both appointment cancellations and lack of vaccination doses.
