Check Yourself! 5 Industries Where Workers Should be Vaccinated and Regularly Tested for COVID-19


• During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve all had to do our part in trying to keep ourselves and everyone else safe, with the hope that one day this would be all behind us. • Now, with the rising rates of the Delta variant, it’s more important than ever that we keep fighting for that future. • Getting vaccinated at a COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Pearl City, Honolulu, Waikiki, or wherever you may reside in Hawaii, is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. • However, with the Delta variant being transmissible even to those who have been vaccinated, getting tested will continue to be important to assure you’re keeping those around you safe.


• Urgent Care Hawaii offers Coronavirus testing in Kapolei, Kailua, and Pearl City. • As of now, Hawaii is at a record-breaking number of cases per day, after a dramatic increase in the number of positive cases week over week. • If we want to help curb this increase, we have to understand what is causing this increase, which primarily comes from two sources: an increase in tourism, and more citizens going out in public without masks and social distancing. • While it’s important to stress to these groups the importance of following safety guidelines and getting tested, it also affects another group of people that our article today is about: workers in service industries.


• While some service industries have employee regulations in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, some may have relaxed these regulations in the past few months.


• However, when working with so many different, unfamiliar people every single day, the chances of contracting COVID-19 increases exponentially. • It could cause the worker to get sick, but also many of the customers they helped, as well as co-workers. • By getting vaccinated, following safety precautions, and getting tested regularly, service industry workers can help prevent the rapid spread of the Delta variant. • When thinking of tourism, the first people tourists interact with are airline and hotel employees. • Whether you’re a flight attendant, pilot, or a worker at the airport, you are most likely dealing with hundreds of people from around the world every day.


• If you work at a hotel, you may be dealing with the same situation more intimately, being around guests in a hotel, pool, or near their rooms. • Tour guides are also at risk, as they spend extended periods of time with groups of people from different regions of the world, increasing their chance of exposure. • where they could easily catch the virus if one person in their group has it. • Other service industries that both tourists and locals might frequent are retail stores and restaurants. • Having to consistently help both tourists and locals in retail stores could easily cause a spread amongst both groups if the worker isn’t careful.


• This may be even more likely if working in a restaurant, where customers have to take off their masks in order to eat. • For workers in these five industries, it is important to take necessary precautions. • Getting vaccinated to help lower your chances of contracting COVID-19, and getting tested regularly to know you’re healthy in these uncertain times, cannot only save your life, but many others. • Getting vaccinated is easier than it ever has been; not only is it free at COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics in Pearl City and all around Hawaii, but it’s fast and safe!


• Recently testing has become more readily available and cheaper, with Urgent Care Hawaii and others offering Corona virus testing in Kapolei and across Oahu! • Do your part, and make sure to help keep everyone safe and sound from COVID-19!
