More than 62,000 more people could die from coronavirus in the coming four weeks, predicted the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "Current forecasts may not fully account for the emergence and rapid spread of the Omicron variant or changes in reporting during the holidays and should be interpreted with caution," said the CDC.
‘The number of newly reported COVID-19 deaths will likely increase over the next four weeks, with 10,400 to 31,000 new deaths likely reported in the week ending February 5.’
The country reported nearly 3,000 new deaths from COVID-19 on Tuesday, a new high since mid February last year, CDC data showed. The daily COVID-19 deaths figure has been on the increase in recent weeks, as the new Omicron variant has spurred new surge in cases and hospitalizations since early December, Xinhua news agency reported.
