COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations Surge in Wisconsin as Winter Holidays Approach

COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising in Wisconsin, particularly among those aged 65 and older. The number of daily hospitalizations is still lower than during previous surges, but the situation is concerning. Vaccination rates remain low, with only a small percentage of residents, including vulnerable elderly individuals, receiving the updated COVID-19 vaccine. The JN.1 variant is rapidly spreading and accounts for a significant portion of infections. Available treatments include antiviral pills and injections, but uptake and accessibility are important challenges. Public health officials urge people to get vaccinated, consider available treatments, and take precautions during the winter holidays.

Concerns Mount as COVID-19 Cases Surge Among Seniors, Children, and in Oregon

Covid-19 hospitalizations in the United States are increasing, with seniors having the highest rates and children, especially those under 5, experiencing a fast-rising number of hospitalizations. More than 20,500 people were admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 during the week ending September 9, and hospitalizations among children have increased five-fold in the past three months. Vaccination rates for children remain low, and experts are urging parents to talk to pediatricians about protecting their families. Covid-19 remains the main virus of concern as the US enters respiratory virus season, but levels of RSV have also started to rise. The Biden administration is preparing to ramp up messaging on Covid-19, flu, and RSV vaccines.
