COVID-19: Youth most affected by Delta in rural Northern California

Peninsula 360 Press [P360P].

Isolated communities in remote rural areas in Northern California, once protected from the spread of coronavirus, have now become a critical focal point for the COVID-19 pandemic.

In that area, there has been a recent increase in the Delta variant of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the adverse effects of which began in the first quarter of 2020; however, the effects of the health crisis are now more severe, as young people of Latino descent who have not yet been vaccinated are dying at alarmingly high rates.

We invite you to listen to this report, where Manuel Ortiz, in collaboration with Radio Bilingüe, Ethnic Media Services and Peninsula 360 Press, visited the epicenter of the COVID-19 Delta wave in Northern California and reports on how COVID-19 infections increased exponentially in these communities as well as the phenomenon of fake news surrounding the application of the vaccine.
