The coronavirus pandemic may feel distant for some, but new data shows summer is ushering in an annual wave of infections, and President Joe Biden is just the latest to test positive for COVID-19.
Dr. Rosha McCoy, the senior director of the American Association of Medical Colleges, said an increase in positive COVID cases during summer and fall months has become a trend. She strongly advises people to not let their guard down and to continue to take precautions to protect themselves from the infection.KP.2 and KP.3 are the predominant variants circulating in the U.S. and account for an estimated 60% of infections, according to CDC data.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, body aches and diarrhea.
