CDC continues to monitor the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant, especially the BA.2 subvariant that now makes up more than 85% of U.S. cases. Since early April 2022, there have been increases in the 7-day moving average of COVID-19 cases in the United States. During the 15-day extension period, CDC will assess the potential impact the recent rise of COVID-19 cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations, deaths, and healthcare system capacity. TSA will continue to coordinate closely with CDC and communicate any changes to this requirement with the public. ### A - Z Index Federal Relay Civil Enforcement FOIA DHS Industry Metrics Report Fraud, Waste & Abuse No FEAR Report Security Threat Privacy USA.gov Sign Up for Email Updates Subscribe
