Health officials in the United States are warning of a rise in COVID-19 infections as summer temperatures drive Americans indoors and people travel for vacations and gatherings. Data from the CDC shows increases in cases in 39 states, with no declines reported nationwide. New variants like KP.2, KP.3, and LB.1 are contributing to the spike, with LB.1 showing potential for increased infectivity and evasion of vaccines. Experts recommend vaccination for vulnerable individuals and anticipate updated vaccines targeting variants to arrive in the fall.
