With cases of COVID-19 rising locally and increased circulation of the highly transmissible Delta variant, the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma, and the City of Berkeley recommend that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors in public places to ensure easy verification that all unvaccinated people are masked in those settings and as an extra precautionary measure for all.

Public health leaders and school officials agree: the science is clear that there are safe ways for our students to return to the classroom. The benefits of in-person learning far outweigh the risks for students in our community.

The CAP team is excited to share with our ambassadors and community an excellent, student-led educational video series informing students on immunity, COVID-19, and vaccines. There are 6 episodes, each covering DNA, protein synthesis, viruses, immune system, COVID, and vaccines. The group of educators and students feel that understanding the background science of how our bodies work and fight diseases will help color and explain how COVID affects us and how vaccines help to fight the virus.

We'll be posting the rest of the series throughout the rest of May. Please share them with your daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, and anyone else you think may be interested. Thank you!
