State health officials not expecting a surge in COVID hospitalizations this winter
Vermont Public
The cold weather is returning, which means a lot of Vermonters are spending more time indoors.
State health officials say the threat of COVID remains quite low in the state. At the same time — there are indications that the current dominant strain of the virus is more contagious, with less severe symptoms than many previous strains.
So what’s the outlook for this winter?
Jenn Jarecki: It's hard to believe, Bob, but we're approaching year four with COVID in our lives, and at times the threat of the virus has been severe, and other times it's been more mild. Where do things stand today in Vermont?
Bob Kinzel: Isn't it amazing that it's been four years — it kind of feels like about a decade. But in any case, Vermont health officials say we're at a low rating at this time.
