Washington: Covid is making a comeback in parts of the northeastern United States as the BA.2 coronavirus subtype gains dominance in the country, officials warned Wednesday, pushing Congress to authorise fresh funds or risk jeopardising future treatment and vaccine supplies.


The country is currently recording an average of 28,600 cases per day, significantly below the previous peak of more than 800,000 average daily infections in January.
Covid-19 deaths are averaging roughly 900 per day, with a total of one million deaths projected within a month.

BA.2 currently accounts for 35 percent of cases nationally and is expected to become dominant soon. The expected rebound comes as Congress declined to add $22.5 billion in Covid funding to a spending bill passed last week
