In what is becoming a holiday-season tradition, Covid-19 cases are rising once again in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors and virus trackers expect cases to increase further in coming weeks as the weather gets colder and people gather indoors for the holidays. They are also closely watching a variant, JN.1, that is spreading fast around the world. They have recently ticked back up, rising 1.2% for the latest week, according to the CDC’s most recent data. Wastewater levels are an early warning for infections, with levels up nationally since mid-October.
