United States: The health authorities of the United States have raised concerns and worries regarding the increase in COVID-19-related activity. According to the recent updates shared by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), certain states of the nation have been witnessing an upsurge in activity as of March 30, 2023.
As per the current data released by the federal health agency, the coronavirus infections have been seen increased or likely increased in two states of the US. In addition to this, the CDC has reported a decrease or likely decrease in coronavirus infections across 29 states and territories, according to the reports by Washington Post.
However, the health authorities have outlined that around 19 states have labeled infections as “stable or uncertain. On the other hand, the national forecast called for the possibility of spiking in daily COVID hospital admissions, showing a value of up to 3.400 hospitalizations per day at the end of April.
Sadly, by this time, the US covid statistics exceeds 1 million 200 thousand deaths, including the victims of COVID-19 (according to the CDC’s Covid Data Tracker).
What healthcare professionals recommend is vaccination combined with other good hygiene habits in order to keep away different viruses and respiratory diseases, not to mention the coronavirus pandemic, as reported in the Washington Post.
Some of these practices are covering your mouth and nose when noticing the sneeze or the cough, then washing hands regularly with soap and water and using the hand sanitizer. On the other hand, cleaning frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, railings, desks, and countertops is also essential.
Despite the prolonged presence of COVID-19, not everyone has been infected. Individuals who have not contracted the virus, sometimes referred to as “super-dodgers” or “novids,” comprised nearly one in four US adults and older teenagers by late 2022, as per various academic and medical sources citing CDC data. Although more recent data was unavailable at the time of writing, it’s probable that the number of novids has decreased since 2022.
