COVID Winter Surge: Hospitalizations and Case Levels Rise Across US
The United States is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, with 16,239 new hospital admissions in the week ending November 11. Fourteen states, including Vermont, Iowa, and Alaska, are seeing a significant increase in hospitalizations. Health officials attribute this spike to colder weather, which facilitates the spread of the virus. While the number of hospitalizations is lower than the peak in January 2021, there are concerning trends in certain states. Vigilance and adherence to safety measures are emphasized as crucial in combating the surge.
