Omicron wave appears to have peaked in Galveston County, expert says
The Galveston County Daily News, January 26, 2022
The number of COVID-19 cases reported in Galveston County appears to have peaked, said Dr. Philip Keiser, the local health authority. The Galveston County Health District on Wednesday announced 259 new cases of COVID-19. It’s the lowest number of cases reported in a single day since Dec. 21. “There’s a part of me that’s optimistic and thinks that with omicron, this might be the game-changer,” Keiser said. “But the unexpected roll of the dice is what happens if there’s a new variant and it’s very different from omicron. There’s always this risk that we’re going to get something that’s wildly different.”
