MONTPELIER- Vemont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said COVID-19 variant BA2 is “driving an uptick” in COVID-19 cases in Vermont at the administration’s press briefing Tuesday.
“We’ve had a 29% increase in our seven-day average of numbers of cases, you can see a very slight uptick,” Levine said, pointing to a graph of COVID-19 cases spanning the last six months of COVID-19 cases in Vermont. “But again, it’s actually an order of magnitude different than the original Omicron.”
