Christmas has not come yet, the daily increase has exceeded 20,000, Omi Keron “captures” New York

Experts say that the surge in infection rates is only a matter of time. New York is one of the regions where cases surged when the epidemic first broke out, and the situation may continue to deteriorate. The Christmas holiday is about to begin, and the number of new coronavirus cases in New York in a single day exceeds 20,000, which is the highest record since the outbreak. According to the authorities, the US vaccination rate is relatively low. During the busiest travel and social period of the year, the epidemic wave hits parts of the medical system again and faces challenges.

On Friday, New York State Governor Kathy Hokuru disclosed the latest status of the epidemic on Twitter: New York has tested positive for new crowns in 21,027 in the past 24 hours, and the diagnosis rate reached 7.89%. In addition, the number of hospitalized patients rose to 3839, with 60 new deaths.

The day before, Jay Varma, a senior adviser to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, warned:

The positive diagnosis rate of Omi Keron doubled in three days, which has never happened before.

So far, the situation in the United States has eased compared with the situation in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Denmark. In the United Kingdom, Ome Keron’s infection levels soared to record highs. There are 37 new infections per 100,000 people in the United States each day, which is half of the peak level last winter.

However, according to experts, the surge in infection rates is only a matter of time. New York is one of the regions in the United States where cases surged when the epidemic first broke out in 2020. The vaccination rate in the United States is only 61%, while that in the United Kingdom is 70%.

Biden has urged people to get a booster vaccine in the past two weeks, and there is research evidence that the third dose is effective in preventing Omi Keron infection. At the same time, Biden also asked for stricter restrictions on the epidemic to slow down the spread of the epidemic.

In California, the most populous state, later this month, California Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul announced the statewide regulations for masks in indoor public places, requiring masks to be worn in indoor environments until January 15.

New York’s tourism industry was affected, some Broadway shows were forced to postpone, and some restaurants were temporarily closed after workers tested positive for the new crown. Radio Music City also announced the cancellation of Friday’s iconic Christmas performance due to the new crown virus.

Various sporting events are also hard to be spared. The National Football League said on Friday that due to this new, highly contagious virus, the number of infections has risen sharply, and it will reschedule three games next week.

Previously, more than 100 players from the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball League (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL) were suspended due to positive test results.
