US COVID cases rise: President Biden says health system ”prepared”

Public health authorities in the US have shortened the isolation period for people who have asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 from 10 to five days. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is not recommending quarantine for those who have received a booster shot either – they merely have to wear a mask for 10 days. The surge in Omicron cases has caused severe labour shortages for airlines and President Joe Biden has been criticised for not making coronavirus tests more widely available sooner.
