In the United States, 580K Covid-19 instances set a new high.
As the pandemic enters its third year, the United States has broken many new records in Covid-19 indicators, and health experts have warned of a “tidal wave” in 2022.
According to the most recent data from Johns Hopkins University, the country set a new daily Covid-19 case record on Thursday, with over 580,000 cases reported nationwide.
This week, the single-day case count surpassed records numerous times, reaching the highest level since the outbreak began in the country.
According to Johns Hopkins University, approximately 2,700,000 new cases and over 9,000 new deaths have been added to the tally in the last week.
In addition, the weekly increase in cases reached a new pandemic high, surpassing the previous high set in the first week of 2021.
According to figures released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday, the country is averaging around 320,000 new cases each day. In addition, the seven-day average of daily instances reached a new high.
According to CDC data, daily Covid-19 instances in the United States reached nearly half a million for three days this week.
The Omicron-fueled rise in the United States has also resulted in a record number of youngsters being hospitalized with Covid-19.
According to CDC data, an average of 378 children aged 17 and younger were admitted to hospitals every day owing to Covid-19 during the week of December 22 to 28, a 66.1 percent rise from the week before and a new high for hospitalized children with Covid-19 since the pandemic began.
According to the latest study from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, nearly 7.5 million children in the United States have tested positive for Covid-19, accounting for one out of every ten children.
According to the paper, Covid-19 instances among youngsters in the United States are “very high and growing.”
Experts are concerned that Covid-19 will spread before school reopens next week. Due to the increase in instances, certain schools around the country have decided to go virtual for the first two weeks.
The fast spread of the Omicron variety has wreaked havoc across the country.
According to CNN, nearly 2,400 planes were canceled on Saturday. Since Christmas Eve, over 13,000 flights have been canceled.
The spike in the Covid-19 Omicron strain in the United States is expected to peak by the end of January, according to top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci.
According to a real-time tally collected by Johns Hopkins University, the United States had registered more than 54.7 million Covid-19 cases with over 825,000 deaths as of Saturday afternoon.
