California is experiencing a rise in COVID-19 cases as new FLiRT subvariants dominate, with increasing concentrations in sewage and positive-test rates statewide. The FLiRT subvariants, including KP.2, KP.3, and KP.1.1, are now accounting for over 50% of the nation's infections. Health officials in California are noting stable or slowly increasing spread, with hospitals reporting an uptick in cases attributed to these variants. Vaccination is advised, especially for seniors, as hospitalizations are seen among those not updated with the latest COVID-19 vaccine. Awareness of long COVID impacts is also emphasized, urging precautions and testing for potential illness.
