As the US relaxes restrictions, most covid cases go undetected

Washington, Aug 17 (EFE), (Camera: Jorge Dastis) .- The United States health authorities continue to relax restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic, but more and more data indicates that a large number of infections go unnoticed, which could be contributing to the appearance of new variants.

This is at least the conclusion of a study, published this Wednesday in the prestigious medical journal Jama, which shows that more than half of the people infected with the omicron variant in a hospital in Los Angeles (California) never found out that they had the illness.
