The BA.2 subvariant is now dominant in the U.S., and cases are already starting to inch back up in New Jersey

The Philadelphia Inquirer (March 29) – The BA.2 subvariant has become the dominant strain of the coronavirus in the United States and the Northeast, new CDC data showed Tuesday — meaning an uptick in cases could be around the corner, just after COVID-19 spread had reached its lowest level since July.

In New Jersey, the strain is already contributing to a slight increase in new cases, the state medical director said, though officials haven’t “yet seen any indication” it will cause a large surge.
