More than 50 million Coronavirus cases were reported in the United States by early Tuesday, as New York City required vaccination for all private employers, health officials warned against travel to several European countries and governments tightened restrictions on unvaccinated people.
The omicron variant, which is more contagious than the widespread delta variant, has been found in 19 U.S. states as of Monday, just five days after the first known case in the country emerged in California. The number reflected the increased possibility of transmission of the newest variant and a more effective detection system.
In fact, most of the nation's Coronavirus cases are still caused by the highly transmissible delta variant, which has resulted in some of the worst spikes of this year's pandemic. More than 786,000 deaths and nearly 49.3 million Coronavirus cases had been reported in the U.S. since the outbreak began in January 2020, according to tracking by Washington Post.
