Covid-19 cases are rising in more than half of all states due to the new subvariant, but White House Covid-19 advisor Dr. Ashish Jha said the vaccines are still “holding up” against the virus and the new strain does not cause more severe infection.
The country averaged just under 35,000 new infections in the seven-day period ending Friday, up 42% from two weeks prior, though cases are well below their January peak, when the U.S. faced over 800,000 daily infections,New daily coronavirus cases have risen in 32 states over the last two weeks, while 18 saw declines in that period,, with cases increasing by 145% in Michigan—by far the largest increase of any state.
Jha told ABC people who are vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 are “going to do fine” as the new variant spreads.he believes large events like the White House Correspondents Dinner, scheduled for the end of April, don’t need to be canceled if everyone in attendance is vaccinated and safety precautions are taken.The BA.2 subvariant has become the dominant coronavirus strain in the U.S. in the past month.
