“I think it’s very hopeful,” State Epidemiologist Dr. Joe McLaughlin said. “We are definitely on a steep downward trajectory from the omicron wave, and I think everybody is feeling very happy about that.”

As models are showing a sharp decline in new cases reported, numbers are getting close to where they were before the omicron variant was detected.

The colors correspond with the COVID-19 alert levels. Red indicates an area has a high seven-day case rate,Orange is considered substantial, meaning the seven-day case rate is 50 to 100 cases per 100,000 people. Yellow stands for moderate. Its seven-day case rate is 10 to 50 cases per 100,000 people. The lowest category is colored blue. A community is in low alert when there have been less than 10 cases per 100,000 people over the past seven days.

“Due to its greater transmissibility, it’s likely causing a slower rate of decline of the omicron wave in many parts of the world,” he said. “So we see sort of a tailing off of that omicron wave instead of just a continued sharp decrease.”
