While San Diegans will get to enjoy a bit more pre-pandemic normalcy starting Thursday, a new study by local researchers underscores the need for continued caution to avoid a surge fueled by a fast-spreading strain of the coronavirus.
A team of scientists at Scripps Research joined with genomics company Helix to track the spread of a variant first spotted in the U.K., known as B.1.1.7, across the United States. They found that the frequency of the strain doubles roughly every week.
That speedy spread coupled with reopening is fueling a rise in cases across the U.S. The nation’s seven-day average of daily coronavirus cases has risen by about 12 percent over the past week, with a slight increase in new COVID-19 hospitalizations, too.
