NEWSLETTER: Testing Locations in the Fifth District
A MESSAGE FROM CONGRESSMAN HOYER
The surge in COVID-19 cases across the country and here in the Fifth District is a very serious matter. The Omicron variant has caused a spike in cases, overwhelmed hospitals, and placed Maryland in a second state of emergency since this pandemic began in March of 2020. This variant is spreading rapidly, with those who are not yet vaccinated experiencing the worst illness and facing a higher risk of hospitalization.
The best way to curb COVID-19 infections in our communities is to get your free vaccine and get tested regularly. Vaccines are the best tool we have to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Getting tested as soon as possible can help you manage COVID-19 by isolating when sick in order to prevent spreading the virus to others and getting the appropriate care.
