Center for Disease Control and Prevention

This is NSPR’s new weekday show about the local and regional effects of COVID-19 in the North State. Listen each weeknight Mon-Fri at 6:30 p.m. NSPR will continue this special coverage as long as our community needs it. Our mission with this show is to provide accurate news and information about COVID-19 in our region.

Tonight, we’ll hear why one case of COVID-19 in the community could mean there’s a 50 percent chance a growing outbreakis already underway in that area. We’ll take a look at how this pandemic is affecting domestic violence in the region and why officials and service agencies are ready for an uptick in cases.

Also, NSPR’s Dave Schlom takes us through a conversation with two researchers from UC Davis about the spread of infectious disease through animals.

If there’s a story you want to hear or information that you need to know, leave us a message on our message line 433-9216. You can also reach us through our website mynspr.org
