Experts anticipate possible COVID-19 surge this fall, winter

Johns Hopkins University experts shared concerns about a possible COVID-19 surge this fall and winter. This comes as children have returned to school and people are back on the road and booking travel — and many are leaving face masks behind. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health held a briefing Thursday amid the rollout of the updated booster shot targeting omicron. Experts said they are monitoring a pair of new virus mutations as they brace for a stronger-than-usual flu season. They warn that monkeypox is going to spread to college campuses and day care centers.
