Outbreak at Assisted Living Facility in Ukiah Does Not Involve Virus Variant

A COVID-19 outbreak at an assisted living facility in Ukiah does not involve a virus variant. Earlier in the week, Mendocino County Health Officer Dr. Andy Coren said they were investigating. Yesterday morning, Mountain View Assisted Living and Memory Care issued an email stating there is no evidence of a Covid-19 variant at the facility. A staff member who tested positive worked a full week before knowing of the test result due to a delay in reporting from a lab in Texas. The outbreak involves 33 people.
