COUNTY News:

Los Alamos County issued the weekly COVID-19 Community Newsletter today, Oct.17. Inside the newsletter from William F. Athas’ Epidemiology Corner, the CDC revised its variant profile to show that newly tracked Omicron variants BQ.1, BQ.1.1, and BA.2.75.2 are quickly gaining ground in the US and outcompeting the predominant BA.5.

And while the CDC Community Level for Los Alamos County remains LOW, virus levels roughly doubled in the county’s wastewater as of the end of September, and health authorities believe that there is the potential for another COVID-19 wave going into the Fall/Winter.

For Athas’ full report, read the newsletter online or subscribe to have future newsletters emailed directly to inboxes at https://lacnm.com/subscribe.
