Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows the omicron variant of the coronavirus now accounts for 99.9% of new COVID-19 cases. This comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) and health officials are keeping their eyes on a COVID-19 sub-variant called BA.2.
According to data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, the U.S. saw 429,510 new cases in the past day and 2,911 new deaths.
While cases numbers are down from the variant of concern's peak in certain states earlier this month, deaths have reached the highest level since early last year.
