With students heading back to the classrooms and cooler fall temperatures right around the corner, doctors are sounding the alarm on a recent uptick in COVID cases.
COVID hospitalizations have been increasing, from about 6,000 a week at the beginning of the summer to more than 15,000 the week of Aug. 19, the most recent week of federal data. But in 96% of the country, COVID hospitalizations are considered low, according to the CDC.
The uptick in COVID data comes as federal health officials could soon announce an updated booster shot and with it new recommendations about who should get the jab. Even with the uptick in cases, Dr. Cirigliano said the country is in a much different place than it was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
