Interpretive Summary for June 10, 2022


HAPPY CAMPERS

As we head into summer, many people are at much lower risk of serious illness,
hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 because of increased immunity through
vaccination or previous infection. Almost 71% of the U.S. population ages 5
years and older has completed their primary COVID-19 vaccine series, and
treatments are widely available. While this is certainly good news, it is still
important to protect yourself and others around you, including those who are at
increased risk for severe illness. 


CDC recently updated its guidance for K–12 schools and early care and education
settings, which also applies to summer camps. Based on the COVID-19 Community
Levels, this guidance gives schools and camps the flexibility to adapt to their
changing local situations. It features a variety of strategies for keeping all
kids safe, like promoting vaccination, offering testing, ensuring proper
ventilation, and encouraging hand hygiene and mask-wearing. The guidance also
provides advice on what to do if an outbreak occurs, regardless of community
level. If you’re sending your kids to camp this summer, ask the camp director
what steps they are taking to prevent COVID-19.


Make sure this summer is a safe one! Check your COVID-19 Community Level when
planning activities, consider getting tested before you travel, and remember
that being outdoors is safest. CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines, including
boosters, for everyone ages 5 years and older. Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool
to learn if and when you can get boosters to stay up to date and protected with
your COVID-19 vaccines.


Note to Readers: Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for people
who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.

   time at wastewater sites across the United States.

COVID-19 COMMUNITY LEVELS

As of June 9, 2022, there are 314 (9.75%) counties, districts, or territories
with a high COVID-19 Community Level, 1,052 (32.67%) counties with a medium
Community Level, and 1,854 (57.58%) counties with a low Community Level. This
represents a small (+2.20 percentage points) increase in the number of
high-level counties, a moderate (+9.57 percentage points) increase in the number
of medium-level counties, and a corresponding (−11.77 percentage points)
decrease in the number of low-level counties. Fifty-two (100%) of 52
jurisdictions had high- or medium-level counties this week.

REPORTED CASES

As of June 8, 2022, the current 7-day moving average of daily new cases
(109,032) increased 8.0% compared with the previous 7-day moving average
(100,916). A total of 85,084,715 COVID-19 cases have been reported in the United
States as of June 8, 2022. 


CDC Nowcast projections for the week ending June 4, 2022, estimate the combined
national proportion of lineages designated as Omicron to be 100%.

VACCINATIONS

The U.S. COVID-19 Vaccination Program began December 14, 2020. As of June 8,
2022, 589.9 million vaccine doses have been administered in the United States.
Overall, about 258.9 million people, or 78.0% of the total U.S. population, have
received at least one dose of vaccine. About 221.6 million people, or 66.7% of
the total U.S. population, have been fully vaccinated. Of those fully
vaccinated, about 104.1 million people have received a booster dose, but 49.0%
of the total booster-eligible population has not yet received a booster dose. As
of June 8, 2022, the 7-day average number of administered vaccine doses reported
(by date of CDC report) to CDC per day was 290,078, a 15.6% decrease from the
previous week. 




CDC’s COVID Data Tracker displays vaccination trends by age group,
race/ethnicity, and urban/rural status. To see trends by age group and
race/ethnicity, visit the Vaccination Demographic Trends tab. To see trends by
urban/rural status, visit the COVID-19 Vaccination Equity tab.

HOSPITALIZATIONS

New Hospital Admissions

The current 7-day daily average for June 1–7, 2022, was 4,127. This is an 8.0%
increase from the prior 7-day average (3,820) from May 25–31, 2022. 









Daily Trends in Number of New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions in the United States 

New admissions are pulled from a 10 am EDT snapshot of the HHS Unified Hospital
Data - Analytic Dataset. Due to potential reporting delays, data from the most
recent 7 days, as noted in the figure above with the grey bar, should be
interpreted with caution. Small shifts in historic data may also occur due to
changes in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider of
Services file, which is used to identify the cohort of included hospitals.

COVID-NET: HOSPITALIZATION RATES AMONG CHILDREN AGES 0-17 YEARS

CDC’s Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network
(COVID-NET) shows that pediatric rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalizations
remain highest among young children ages 0-4 years, who are not yet eligible for
vaccination. Hospitalization rates among this age group are 2.5 per 100,000
population, compared to 0.8 and 1.5 per 100,000 population for children ages
5-11 years and 12-17 years, respectively, for the week ending May 21, 2022.










RATES OF COVID-19-ASSOCIATED HOSPITALIZATIONS AMONG CHILDREN AGES 0-17 YEARS


The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance
Network (COVID-NET) is an additional source for hospitalization data collected
through a network of more than 250 acute-care hospitals in 14 states
(representing ~10% of the U.S. population). Detailed data on patient
demographics, including race/ethnicity, underlying medical conditions, medical
interventions, and clinical outcomes, are collected using a standardized case
reporting form.

DEATHS

The current 7-day moving average of new deaths (306) has increased 18.6%
compared with the previous 7-day moving average (258). As of June 8, 2022, a
total of 1,005,823 COVID-19 deaths have been reported in the United States.

TESTING

The percentage of COVID-19 NAATs (nucleic acid amplification tests) that are
positive (percent positivity) is increasing in comparison to the previous week.
The 7-day average of percent positivity from NAATs is now 13.7%. The 7-day
average number of tests reported for May 27–Jun 02, 2022, was 476,710, down
26.7% from 650,347 for the prior 7 days.

WASTEWATER SURVEILLANCE

COVID Data Tracker’s Wastewater Surveillance tab tracks levels, changes, and
detections of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in wastewater at more than 900 testing sites
across the country.




Currently, most of the country is reporting moderate SARS-CoV-2 levels in
wastewater. Around 33% of sites are currently seeing some of the highest levels
for those sites since December 1, 2021. Additionally, more than half of all
sites reporting wastewater data are experiencing a modest increase in SARS-CoV-2
levels, but about 35 of sites are reporting a decrease in SARS-CoV-2 levels in
wastewater. It It is important to note that even a small increase when levels
are low can appear like a dramatic increase in the percent change.




Last week, a Wastewater Metric Chart was added to COVID Data
Tracker’s Wastewater Surveillance page. This chart shows how virus levels in
wastewater have increased or decreased across the United States since January
2021. For more information on how to use wastewater data, visit CDC’s National
Wastewater Surveillance System website.

0% means levels are the lowest they have been at the site; 100% means levels are
the highest they have been at the site.
