Another huge increase in #COVID19 particles detected in wastewater. This shows that the virus is widely circulating again
Hospitalizations are also up. Though at least for now, not two weeks in a row of sharp increases. This could be in part because of better immunity relative to last year. Or, because wastewater is an early indicator, we just haven't seen the hospital wave yet
The other huge increase is that the new #XBB variant is beginning to show up in a big way now
Importantly, because XBB is still part of the #omicron family, the latest booster is still highly effective. The bivalent booster is targeted specifically at omicron. However, just 20% of people with the vaccine have the latest booster
Community levels across the state are back to red. Please take precautions out there. Even if you are young and healthy, you could get other people sick. And of course there are risks of long Covid to consider as well
