New COVID infections hit six-month high

Tue, 2021-08-10 08:06 — Naomisfreeman

New COVID infections hit six-month high The United States is averaging more than 100,000 new COVID-19 cases a day, the highest numbers since last February, before vaccines became widely available. Nathaniel Weixel TheHill

The CDC has emphasized that the spike in cases and hospitalizations is occurring largely among the unvaccinated.

"In places that are well vaccinated, we have quite good protection and we don't have a lot of surge. In places that are less well vaccinated, this virus is an opportunist and it has taken hold in those places in particular," Walensky said.
