COVID hospital admissions during the week ending Saturday, July 29, increased 12.5 percent over the previous week, according to CDC data.
In addition, visits to the emergency room were up more than 21.8 percent, and the positive test percentage increased 1.3 percent.
One of the causes of the trend could be excessive heat, which is sending people indoors into air-conditioned settings.
The US has seen increases in COVID each of the last three summers, and this year's increases in cases and hospitalizations are notably lower than the surge in the summer of 2022 fueled by the BA.5 Omicron subvariant.
A new variant, EG.5, is causing about 17 percent of cases nationwide, with about 16 percent of cases linked to the XBB.1.16 strain known as Arcturus, according to CDC estimates.
Arcturus was first identified in March of this year.
On Wednesday, Aug. 9, the World Health Organization warned that EG.5, a descendent of the Omicron strain and the XBB subvariant. could lead to an increase in infections.
"Due to its growth advantage and immune escape characteristics, EG.5 may cause a rise in case incidence and become dominant in some countries or even globally," the WHO said.
Despite the new uptick, hospitalizations for COVID cases are still at a historic low since the pandemic began in March 2020, a CDC graph shows.

Gee, I’m surprised they aren’t calling it the “THIS on will DEFINITELY require a shot” variant.
Take ivermectin within the first 24 hours.
It works miraculously.
Not this crap again. It will not work this time.
Don’t nobody mention China. Uh-uh. Don’t you do it.
RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!
India with a fraction of our medical facilities had far less deaths from Covid. They used HCQ and Ivermectin and other medical measures. India should have been a pandemic disaster but it was not. That is the elephant in the living room that the elite government does not see nor address.
As a side note, India has great medical facilities with most skilled physicians. You can obtain great care there if you can pay the cost which is much less than in the USA. But at the same time the vast majority can not. However, India did not suffer greatly from Covid. It is due to HCQ, Ivermectin, and other rational therapies.
Our media will not talk about how India handled this pandemic from China.
“One of the causes of the trend could be excessive heat, which is sending people indoors into air-conditioned settings.”
Climate change... I knew it, I knew it.
We must be get close to election time?
More lies, deceit and deception.
Don’t be gullible chumps, and fall for the B.S. once again
A coronavirus is the medical term for a cold and/or flu virus.
Cold and flu season in the United Staes is between November 15th until March 15th.
Warm weather in the Spring and Summer kills off what’s left of these viruses every year. They mutate and burn out.
So anyone trying to tell you in August there’s some deadly cold/flu virus is full of crap. They are lying to you again.
“Take ivermectin within the first 24 hours.

Had 24 hrs of a fever and a sorta stuffed up nose. Worked great.
Here we go again.....
I don’t get out much, anyway. I’d still be mightily upset if some checkist tells me I can’t.
Unknown to most, all erectile dysfunction if due to climate change. My post is just as logical as the climate change idiots posts.
RUN TO THE HILLS!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Can one only get that with a prescription?
You can order it on line from India takes about 3 weeks to arrive but it is a good idea to have it on hand!! No script needed!!
Hospitalization of the vaccinated.
I’m already seeing people walking around wearing masks.
