It looks like the US summer surge is here, as cases have begun to tick upward. The number of COVID cases is "likely" on the rise in at least 39 states and isn't dropping anywhere in the United States. The rate of positive COVID tests rose to 6.6% during the week ending Jun 15, up by 1.2% from the prior week, according to CDC data. And emergency room visits for COVID rose by 14.7% that week over the one prior. Both hospitalization and death rates are up too, rising 25% and 16.7%, respectively, during the week ending in Jun 15.
"The wave is starting … but who knows if we're going to have the big summer waves like we've had every summer since [the COVID pandemic] started," Dr. David Smith, head of the University of California at San Diego's division of infectious diseases, says. Dr. Amesh Adaljia, an infectious disease specialist at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, says that with the arrival of a new variant, the uptick in COVID cases is expected. "It's nothing unmanageable in the health care system, but it's an increase," he says.
As more Singaporeans travel and tourists increase, there may be more imported cases.
