Increase in COVID medical visits slows and CDC says the peak has passed
Posted on 2025-06-11 08:15:13
The Centers for Disease Control says the number of patients seeking treatment for COVID stood at 70,182 last week - a sign that the case numbers are slowing.
According to the C-D-C, the number of COVID related medical visits rose by 9.3-per cent between June 1 and 7 - which is much lower than the previous week's rise of 49-per cent.
C-D-C spokesperson Philip Luo says the peak has passed earlier than the originally predicted end of June or early July timefram - which suggests the epidemic may also end a couple of weeks earlier than the projected date of August 9.
Luo also says this season's peak of 70,000 medical visits was only about half of the 132,000 last summer, but past experiences show that if the epidemic is milder in summer, there may be another surge during autumn and winter.
