240 MILLION FREE AT-HOME TESTS ORDERED SO FAR: WHITE HOUSE

LinkShare to FacebookShare to TwitterEmail this article

About 60 million American households have ordered 240 million free at-home COVID
rapid tests since they became available on Jan. 18, White House officials said
Friday.

The Biden administration plans to ultimately mail 1 billion free at-home rapid
tests to Americans.

Additionally, the federal government has sent out "tens of millions of masks”
since Biden announced last week that the government would provide 400 million
N95 masks for free at pharmacies and community health centers across the
country, White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

US CASES DOWN NEARLY 25%

LinkShare to FacebookShare to TwitterEmail this article

Federal data shows that the U.S. is now reporting an average of almost 600,000
new cases per day -- a nearly 25% drop in the last two weeks, according to
federal data.

Just nine states are reporting at least a 10% increase in cases: Alaska, Idaho,
Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Washington and West Virginia.

All other states and territories are reporting a decrease in new cases or are at
a plateau.

Nationwide, hospitalization rates are also declining, according to federal data.
Just under 145,000 COVID-19-positive patients are currently in U.S. hospitals,
down from 160,000 patients reported last week.

It's not clear how many of these patients were admitted to the hospital for
COVID-19 and how many coincidentally tested positive for the virus after they
were admitted for other reasons.

The national daily death average now stands at nearly 2,300 -- a 30% jump in the
last two weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO DROPPING MASKS IN 'STABLE COHORTS'

San Francisco officials are ending indoor mask mandates for “stable cohorts”
where everyone is up to date on vaccinations, like people in an office or gym
setting.

The city's health officer Dr. Susan Philip called this change, which begins Feb.
1, doable due to San Francisco's highly vaccinated and boosted population.

"Other COVID-19 safety guidelines in these settings remain in effect and include
a means for others who do not or cannot meet the vaccination requirements to
join the group with the added safety of showing a negative test and wearing a
mask," San Francisco's health department said.

OMICRON ESTIMATED TO ACCOUNT FOR 99.9% OF NEW US CASES

LinkShare to FacebookShare to TwitterEmail this article

The omicron variant is estimated to account for 99.9% of all new cases in the
U.S. as of Jan. 22, according to the CDC.

In early December, omicron was estimated to make up just 0.6% of new cases.

Delta now accounts for 0.1% of new cases nationally, forecasters estimate.

These estimates are the results of CDC modeling using recently available data.
