The US recorded 1.35 million new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, according to Reuters’ COVID Tracker, released on Monday.
This high increase in daily cases comes as a result of the fast spread of the new Omicron variant across the country.
The surge of the new variant resulted in an increase in hospitalization cases, hitting an all-time high, having doubled in three weeks, as there were over 136.604 hospitalized people, exceeding the record of 132.051 set in January, according to Reuters tally.
Many US laboratories are processing in producing anti-COVID-19 vaccines, specifically for the new Omicron variant, including Pfizer and Moderna.
Additionally, the US Merck’s Molnupiravir COVID-19 pills also help reduce hospitalization and severe symptoms cases by 50%, especially if given within the first five days of infection.
The US Merck laboratory company has authorized several labs to make generic versions in order to make this COVID-19 drug easy to access for other countries around the world.
