New York may have passed peak Omicron surge, data suggests

New York may already have passed the peak of the latest surge in COVID-19 cases just over a month after the first Omicron case was detected, according to promising new data.

Big Apple health data shows clear dips in recent cases, hospitalizations and deaths — a trend notable across all five boroughs.

The trend is true statewide, too, with the latest seven-day average of cases 57,865 — less than half the record 132,093 recorded the previous week, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
