TYLER — With COVID numbers on the rise once again — in East Texas and elsewhere — NET Health’s George ROberts weighs in on omicron and what you can do to stem spread of the virus. He tells KTBB, “With this new variant, we expect this trend to continue over the next few weeks.” Roberts also reiterates that people who are sick should stay home — noting that if you don’t, and you’re symptomatic, “that’s the fastest way to spread the virus.” Roberts continues to urge people to get vaccinated as possible. He sounds another familiar note, saying that even if getting a shot doesn’t prevent you from getting the virus, it’s likely to ease the severity of the illness and your course of care. <\/p>\n
