Daily Covid cases in the USA broke a record

The rapid spread of the Omicron variant is causing the number of cases to increase exponentially in the USA.

In the USA, the number of cases in the coronavirus epidemic broke a record with the effect of the Omicron variant.

More than 1 million cases were reported in the country on Monday. This figure was recorded as the highest number of daily cases reported in a country during the pandemic.

It was observed that the number of cases increased exponentially with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. Four days ago, there were 590,000 daily cases in the USA.

Pandemic and Weather Conditions Cause Flights to be Canceled

On the first working day of the new year in the USA, more than 2,600 flights could not be made due to increasing Covid-19 cases and adverse weather conditions.

Officials noted that cancellations or delays were experienced due to the heavy snowfall that affected the eastern and central parts of the country and the lack of personnel resulting from the airline company employees catching the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

While the average daily flight cancellations before the Christmas holiday in the USA was around 100, the cancellations and delays started to exceed a few thousand per day in the last week as Omicron hit the aviation sector employees.
