I definitely remember being a high school student and going to Berkeley to pretend to be a college student and thus eating this salad. https://t.co/zCE3fXVrwD

Recently, our AMAZING fruit gleaners took advantage of a break in the smoke to pick over 90 lbs of apples and lemons and deliver it to Berkeley Food Network! We are still seeking trees to pick - if you have any to share, please fill out our form: https://t.co/rDBGCbxpLl

The air quality index (AQI) in Berkeley continues to be in the red “unhealthy” Sunday morning. At 6 a.m. @AIRNow recorded 167 PM2.5 at Aquatic Park, down from 171 at midnight.(The range for “unhealthy” is 151-200)...

[City of Berkeley @CityofBerkeley]

While air quality shut down the walk-up kiosk, we're partnering with @Curative & @SFBART to offer drive-through COVID-19 testing at the North Berkeley BART parking lot for the next 3 weeks.

Mixing households contribute to the spread of #COVID19.

Think twice before inviting people over for that summer hangout you are planning.

"Advocating collectively for social justice issues across campus for the last 30 years has really helped me build meaningful and lasting relationships."

Yes -- it’s the weekend.

No -- that doesn’t mean #COVID19 has gone away.

[City of Berkeley @CityofBerkeley]

🚨Alameda Co. Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss confirmed in a call today that gatherings w ppl outside of your household w/o masks & 6 ft of physical distance is leading to increasing cases.🚨

[City of Berkeley @CityofBerkeley]

COVID-19 is surging in our community. There are now 332 confirmed cases and 3 deaths in Berkeley residents alone. Another 9,000 cases and 165 deaths across Alameda County.

But even these stark numbers do not capture the full scope of the virus's impact.

I interviewed so many people who lost their jobs bc of the pandemic for @Berkeleyside. Every interview, I was floored that people were willing to share their struggles/ joys/ experiences with me. Thank you Berkeley <3

Our decisions have the power to determine:
👨‍👨‍👦‍👦how we connect with family and friends
🏫 when children go back to school
📭 when businesses reopen

Reduce your risk of getting or giving #COVID19!

This makes me so happy! Latinos make up 36% of the 79,953 California students offered admission to UCs. Cal accepted the largest number of black and brown students in three decades. Go Bears! https://t.co/WyRbckg3XC
