CHICAGO: New coronavirus cases have started to fall in the US, signalling that the Omicron-fuelled spike that has infected tens of millions of Americans, packed hospitals and shattered records has finally begun to relent.
More and more states have passed a peak in new cases in recent days, as glimmers of progress have spread from a handful of eastern cities to much of the country. Through Friday, the US was averaging about 7,20,000 new cases a day, down from about 8,07,000 last week. New Covid hospital admissions have levelled off.
However, the threat has by no means passed. The US continues to identify far more infections a day than in any prior surge, and some states in the west and south and Great Plains are seeing increases. Many hospitals are full. And deaths continue to mount, with over 2,100 announced most days.

In New York, cases are falling sharply even as deaths continue to increase, with mo- re fatalities being announced each day than at any point since the first months of the pandemic. In Illinois and Maryland, hospitalisations and cases have started to decline. But cases continue to grow in North Dakota and in Alabama.
