“NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Alarming but not unexpected, that’s how doctors are describing the latest COVID-19 surge in Tennessee, led by the omicron variant.
“The situation in Tennessee is alarming but not unexpected — we’re seeing trends here comparable to what we’re seeing really all over the country,” said Dr. Loren Lipworth, an Epidemiologist with Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
The Tennessee Department of Health decided to end its daily COVID case reporting. But according to data from the CDC, over the weekend Tennessee surpassed its peak in cases with over 19,500 and it’s likely to do so again.”
