New cases of COVID-19 are on the rise compared to last week as the delta variant spreads throughout the U.S., health officials said Thursday.
The weekly average of new daily cases was 10% higher, even though cases were down 95% from the nation s peak in January, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a briefing.
The delta variant, which is thought to be more contagious, is the second-most prevalent variant circulating in the U.S. and is expected to become the most common in the coming weeks, Walensky said. As we prepare for Independence Day, I want to remind those who remain unvaccinated to protect themselves by wearing a mask, and avoid crowds to prevent transmission and illness, she said.
