Summer COVID-19 Surge in U.S. as FLiRT Variant Spreads in 43 States
Jul 4, 2024, 02:01 AM
COVID-19 cases are surging across the U.S. this summer, with the CDC reporting that a new variant, known as the FLiRT variant, is growing or likely growing in 43 states. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, has discussed the implications of this new wave. In Colorado, the state is experiencing a summer bump in COVID-19 cases, with the FLiRT variant preventing the virus from settling into a seasonal pattern. Mask mandates have returned in many oncology offices, reflecting the rise in cases. The resurgence of hospital mask mandates has raised questions about whether COVID-19 is making a significant comeback. With summer socialising at full kilter, individuals may need to rethink their plans if they notice a sniffle. Masking is mandatory in many oncology offices.
