In mid-July, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a small uptick in cases nationally for the first time since January.

Just over a year ago, North Texas health systems saw more than 700 COVID-19 hospitalizations, causing the CDC to designate Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties as areas with high community spread of the virus.

The current strains appear much less severe than the original omicron variant, and most people’s immune systems can handle the virus, especially if they’re vaccinated.

“People with underlying health issues need to be diligent about their safety,” said Steve Love, Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council president and CEO.

A new booster dose targeting XBB.1.5 could receive Food and Drug Administration authorization by the end of August, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said in an investor call Tuesday.

It’s possible, Perl said, that new COVID-19 variants could be better suited for times like the summer so that they don’t have to fight diseases like the flu or respiratory syncytial virus.
