This winter, there is less Covid circulating in the United States. The number of people getting sick and going to the hospital with Covid is lower than before. Last year, more people were dying from Covid during the holidays. But this year, there are fewer deaths. The virus is not spreading as much as it did in the past. This winter is the easiest winter for Covid so far. One reason for this is that many people got the vaccine this year. The vaccine is a good match for the virus that is going around. Also, people still have immunity from getting sick last summer. This helps protect them from getting sick again. Even though the number of Covid cases is low, there are still other illnesses going around. It is important to wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, and stay home if you feel sick. This can help prevent the spread of germs. Overall, people in the United States are getting sick with Covid less often this winter. This is good news because it means fewer people are getting very sick and going to the hospital. Remember to stay safe and healthy by washing your hands and wearing a mask when you are around other people.
