That’s more than double the number in hospitals a month ago when the highly contagious omicron variant first emerged as a variant of concern. New COVID-19 cases across the country have risen to their highest level on record at over 265,000 per day. She also said that the omicron variant is now responsible for most new infections. There were 8,344 new COVID-19 cases reported last week, an 80% increase from the week before.
