Local doctors are noticing new trends in COVID-19 cases as they rise once again.

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged local leaders and individuals to at least consider returning to wearing masks in indoor public settings.

COVID-19 infections are up, driven by new variants, waning immunity from vaccines and past infections and fewer people masking, health officials say.

As of last May 14, the seven-day average of new cases rose to 944. That's a 34% increase over the previous week's average of 697.

In our news wrap Wednesday, COVID cases are spiking as federal health officials call for indoor mask mandates, Russia released video of Ukrainian soldiers abandoning the Azovstal steel plant, the U.S. embassy reopened in Kyiv, Finland and Sweden handed in their applications to join NATO, and a former Minneapolis police officer pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge in George Floyd's death.

Covid-19 infections are on the rise, with most US states reporting an increase in cases. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the highly contagious BA.2.1.21 subvariant of Omicron is now the dominant strain of coronavirus nationwide.

The virus is on the move around the country, especially in the Bay Area and at 24th and Mission where the positivity rate among those tested as reached 19 percent. Hospitalizations, recorded infections and positivity rates continue climbing, while R Number estimates and wastewater monitoring, though somewhat mixed, confirm increasing circulation.
