Health experts are warning that rapid antigen test

Health experts are warning that rapid antigen tests may not be detecting the omicron variant as well as past variants and are giving false negatives in people who are infected with COVID-19.

“At this point it’s not completely clear what’s going on. We have not seen this with the previous variant,” said UC Berkeley professor and infectious disease expert Dr. John Swartzberg. “We’re seeing the rapid test often take more than a couple of days of illness before it becomes positive and sometimes it just isn’t becoming positive for several days. It does suggest that maybe the rapid test is having more of a difficult time detecting omicron than it did with the other variants.”

Swartzberg suggests that if someone who has COVID-like symptoms — including a fever, cough, sore throat or a loss of smell and taste — receives a negative rapid test result, they should follow it up with a PCR test, which is more reliable.

“Frankly, we should’ve always been skeptical of negative tests,” said Swartzberg.

He added that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the Food and Drug Administration are gathering data as to what’s going on with rapid tests during the omicron surge and they’re trying to figure out why the antigen tests aren’t detecting the variant as well as they did with previous variants. Swartzberg noted that if a rapid test result is positive, whether someone is exhibiting symptoms or not, they likely have COVID and a PCR test is not necessary. Joanna Sabo wishes rapid tests were more readily available early on in the pandemic because “then maybe it would save more lives.”
“My husband passed away from the virus,” she said.

She said the news about rapid tests doesn’t make her nervous and that she’s just grateful they’re now at her fingertips instead of having to stand in line for a PCR test.

“It’s easier, it’s in the convenience of your home, you’re not around anybody else,” Sabo said.

San Francisco health officials announced Thursday

San Francisco health officials announced Thursday they will again allow office workers, gym members and other 'stable cohorts' of people remove their COVID masks indoors next Tuesday.

Amid a growing downturn in the number of new omicron cases within the city, San Francisco health officials announced Thursday that they will once again allow office workers, gym members and other “stable cohorts” of people remove their COVID masks indoors as of February 1st. Given the highly transmissible nature of the variant, officials said, they were adding an additional requirement that individuals in these stable cohort groups be up to date on their vaccinations including the primary series and boosters when eligible.

Currently, 82% of those eligible for COVID vaccinations in the city have gotten their complete series of shots. Philip said that number allows San Francisco to be more aggressive than state health officials in easing restrictions put into place during the surge of omicron cases.

Other changes announced Thursday include allowing patrons with religious and medical exemptions to the city’s vaccination requirements indoor access to restaurants, bars, gyms and fitness centers with proof of a negative COVID-19 test. Patrons will also be allowed to enter indoor “mega-events” of 500 people or more with proof of a negative COVID-19 test as an alternative to being “up to date” on vaccinations.

The updated health order also added a definition for “booster-eligible,” which means the time when a person qualifies to receive a booster under U.S. Centers for Disease Control guidelines. Until a person is eligible for a booster, they are considered “up to date” on their vaccination. More details on the updated health order can be found on the SF.gov website. Children in schools will still be required to continue wearing masks indoors and masks are still required in retail stores, bars and restaurants or other places that are open to the public. With case rates sharply falling after the omicron holdiay surge, this could be the first of many pandemic restrictions to be lifted.

With just days away from this weekend’s big NFC

With just days away from this weekend’s big NFC Championship, health experts are reminding football fans to be careful as they gather for Sunday’s game, especially indoors. Millions across the nation are expected to watch Sunday’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. Despite Santa Clara County’s positive cases trending downward, cases remain at a record high. The county’s rolling 7-day average as of Wednesday stood at 3,699 versus 4,732 from exactly the week prior.

“We still are in the surge,” said Stanford Health Infectious Disease Dr. Anne Liu. “People were really getting together a lot over the holidays, naturally, so the conditions now are back in place for that spread to happen and if people do start getting together indoors again.”

Liu said all the measures we’ve been educated about for the last two years — including getting together outdoors and wearing masks — should be followed, if possible when gathering. She added that everyone should also be aware the newest variant, BA.2, is here in the Bay Area and it’s unknown how transmissible it is or whether it causes severe disease.

Megan Kawkab, the owner and operator of The Patio in Palo Alto, is revving up for a packed house during Sunday’s game. But she said it’s important to make sure the gathering at her restaurant and bar doesn’t become a superspreader event.

“That’s our biggest fear, is that would happen,” said Kawkab. “All of our seating is a little bit sporadic. Every single table is sat, we don’t just let people come in and sit down, even at the bar. We do walk people and sit them at the tables.”

She said windows will be open and the HEPA filter will be on for those seated in the indoor seating area. In addition, no more than eight people will be allowed at a table for both the indoor portion and outdoor patio.
