L.A. County public health officials say the subvariant now accounts for nearly a third of all virus cases that are screened for variants.
Starting as early as April 18, Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line and Aulani Resort will start reintroducing character greetings.
"Given that BA.2 is more infectious than the previous omicron strains, we expect that BA.2 now accounts for an even higher proportion of BA.2 cases in L.A. County," said L.A. County Public Health Director, Barbara Ferrer. "Taking time now to get vaccinated and boosted not only protects the people who are vaccinated, it reduces the risk of increased transmission across the county," said Ferrer.
A new analysis looking at the records of 14 million U.S. patients show that pregnant women have twice the risk of developing COVID after vaccination. Pregnant women are also more vulnerable to complications once they develop COVID - more reasons to get boosted.
