COVID-19 is making a comeback even though the fall respiratory virus season hasn’t started yet.
New data shows the national positivity rate in COVID tests has topped 3% for the first time since March, with numbers rising in every state.
Health experts say the South and West are leading the wave.
Meanwhile, flu and RSV activity remain low, but health experts predict that COVID cases will keep climbing as summer travel continues, schools reopen, and immunity from old vaccinations wears off.
If you develop symptoms, doctors advise testing immediately and staying home while you’re sick.
