The Omicron variant is continuing its spread across the U.S., now being confirmed over 150 times in 30 U.S. states.
Over the weekend, five U.S. states – Idaho, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee – joined the growing list of states to detect the variant within its borders.
Texas also took over as the nation’s leader in sequenced cases, overtaking New York, with 36 cases sequenced.
In total, 159 cases of Omicron have been confirmed by U.S. health officials, though the total number of cases nationwide is much higher.
In the wake of this new threat, health officials are urging Americans to receive COVID-19 booster shots, as initial data is showing the new variant has the ability to evade protection provided by the vaccines.
