U.S. COVID-19 cases, deaths on rise amid Omicron attack, Delta dominance

NEW YORK: For the first time in two months, the United States is averaging more than 100,000 new COVID-19 cases each day, a few days after millions of Americans traveled for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The seven-day moving average of new cases was 121,437 as of Saturday, CNN cited data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Prior to the week, the United States last topped the 100,000-cases-a-day mark in early October.
