Original title: Omi Keron strain spreads rapidly in the United States, Florida’s new crown cases surge 320% in one week
According to a report by the US “Newsweek” on December 25, with the rapid spread of the Omi Keron strain in the United States, Florida has an average of 17,800 new confirmed cases per day within a week, an increase of 320%.
From December 17 to December 23, Florida reported 125,201 new confirmed cases. The number in the previous week was only 29,519. According to the Tampa Bay Times, the surge in the number of cases indicates that the Omi Keron strain is more infectious than the Delta strain in early September. Cindy Prince, an epidemiologist at the University of Florida, said the Omi Keron strain is spreading rapidly in Florida, causing the number of cases to rise sharply.
