The United States is experiencing an increase in COVID-19, flu, norovirus, and RSV infections over the holidays, with experts forecasting that this will worsen when flu season peaks.
Norovirus cases reached all-time highs since 2012, while RSV hospitalizations increased by 40% in two weeks.
The flu has already affected three million people, resulting in 37,000 hospitalizations and 1,500 ғᴀᴛᴀʟɪᴛɪᴇs.
Hospitals in states such as California and Illinois have reintroduced emergency procedures. To limit the spread, New York officials recommend people to wear masks in busy settings.
