Omicron replaces Delta to become dominant Covid version in US
TRT World says Omicron has raced ahead of other variants and is now the dominant version of the coronavirus in the US, accounting for 73 percent of new infections last week.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) numbers on Monday showed nearly a six-fold increase in Omicron’s share of infections in only one week.
In much of the country, it’s even higher.
Omicron is responsible for an estimated 90 percent or more of new infections in the New York area, the Southeast, the industrial Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest. The national rate suggests that more than 650,000 Omicron infections occurred in the US last week.
