there is a lot of virus in communities now so it is very easy to get infected. there are high levels circulating in the bay area. doctors say it could be happening because travel restrictions were dropped and a lot of people like to visit and possibly bring covid with them. the other could be we have been so good with our restrictions and vaccines we don't have much resistance to this variant. if you compare hospitalizations now compared to our winter surge, doctors say we look ok. >> we have clinical tools now that we didn't have an a better understanding of this disease from a clinical perspective. a big surge like this is still a big problem. amy: one big problem is how many people are missing from work. here are the number of covid cases in the bay area. santa clara county leading the way with the most cases followed by alameda county and contra costa county. the bay area is the section of

eye-opening characteristics of how the virus is infecting the human body with omicron versus delta. >> people who are infected with omicron tend to get more upper respiratory disease, nose, throat, more congestion in the upper airways. people who had delta and previous infections had more systemic symptoms, fever, body aches. luz: the study by you cff -- ucf found the most common symptom during omicron was cough followed by sore throat, congestion and rarely loss of smell or taste. the latino task force was key in gathering data and followed up with those who tested positive at the test site and tracked symptoms. >> one thing also that we found through omicron is that after the five days recommended isolation, most people still tested positive.

the importance to continue to test is very high. >> we can infer that those who were boosted were presenting with more congestion symptoms which means that the immune system was recognizing the virus a lot quicker and making it harder for it to advance. luz: data also found that people who get boost -- didn't get boosted or were unvaccinated were more likely to report body aches or favors. luz peña, abc7news. he are photos fm last year of the first that is followed by three other ceremonies today. the graduations are going to be happening through thursday. a local furniture store left torched in oakland now only on seven, talking about the clues left behind. a look behind at the big board
