ICYMI: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said he was hopeful that the increase in cases wouldn’t lead to a jump in hospitalizations and deaths.
Fauci said people need to make their own decisions about the risks they are willing to take. Rising coronavirus cases in the Northeast and the proliferation of the highly transmissible BA.2 subvariant raise the inevitable question: Is another COVID surge coming to California?
It remains unclear whether the increase is a blip or the beginning of a surge. Coronavirus case numbers are also rising in Sacramento, San Mateo and San Bernardino Counties. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said he was hopeful that the increase in cases wouldn’t lead to a jump in hospitalizations and deaths. The growth in cases was somewhat expected after officials began relaxing public health measures in recent months.
