The newest vari­ants of COVID-19, BA.4 and BA.5, are high­ly trans­mis­si­ble and cre­at­ing new waves of COVID-19 infec­tion as we enter summer.

As the omi­cron wave begins to fade, states and local gov­ern­ments are con­sid­er­ing changes to rules requir­ing the wear­ing of masks to pro­tect against COVID-19. 

Hobbs’ pre­de­ces­sor Kim Wyman, a Repub­li­can, had cho­sen not to require employ­ees report­ing to her to be vac­ci­nat­ed, in a break with the rest of the state’s exec­u­tive department. 

While the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment is pur­chas­ing 500 mil­lion rapid tests to dis­trib­ute free to the pub­lic in response to the rise of the Omi­cron vari­ant of COVID-19, gov­ern­ments in the Pacif­ic North­west have decid­ed to acquire their own supply.

Ahead of Christ­mas, Kwan­zaa, and New Year’s, the Biden-Har­ris admin­is­tra­tion announced new steps to address the omi­cron vari­ant, which is rapid­ly account­ing for an increas­ing per­cent­age of new coro­n­avirus cases.

With the omi­cron vari­ant B.1.1.529 threat­en­ing to com­pli­cate man­age­ment of the coro­n­avirus pan­dem­ic, the Unit­ed States is work­ing on vac­ci­nat­ing young chil­dren against COVID-19 and enforc­ing vac­cine mandates.

Mask man­dates are also com­ing back as offi­cials in the Pacif­ic North­west grap­ple with the more infec­tious delta vari­ant, which now accounts for most new COVID-19 cases.
