Forbes - The omicron surge is nearing its end

ADVERTISEMENT

In the United States last week, the seven-day average of new Covid cases dropped to a point not seen since July 2021, with 62,556 average new cases per day. The decline signals we’re nearing the end of the omicron surge, though many experts warn this doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. The seven-day average of daily new Covid deaths is 1,868, which is about equal to what they were during the peak of the delta wave, though that number continues to decline since early February.
