The coronaviruses are spreading quickly around the world. The CDC says that the virus is spread primarily through person-to-person contact. Experts say touching contaminated surfaces can pose a risk. According to the study, if a person coughs or sneezes on their hand and touches a faucet, the virus can survive for up to 72 hours. It is important to wash your hands with soap and water. Disinfectant wipes can be used to clean frequently used surfaces, such as doorknobs and your phone.

Older Americans will be able to get a second shot to protect against the coronaviruses.

The New York Times reported on Friday that people who are 50 or older will be able to get a second shot of the vaccine.

Health officials warn that the US might see an increase in COVID-19 cases in the coming weeks.

Anthony Fauci, the nation's coronaviruses expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said last week that he would not be surprised if we see a flattening of our diminution in the next few weeks.

The subvariant of Omicron called BA.2 is spreading quickly throughout Europe. The subvariant could soon become the dominant strain in the United States and result in an impending surge, according to experts.

There has been a surge in positive COVID-19 cases in Europe. More than a third of new cases in the US can be linked back to BA.2 so far, according to The Times.

The second booster could get approval from the FDA as early as next week, according to people familiar with the White House's plan.

There are differing opinions on whether additional shots are necessary.

Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, said in an interview that he believed a second booster shot was necessary.

The President of Moderna told Insider that only certain groups of people would need the fourth shot.

For those who are immune-compromised, we want to strongly recommend and encourage a fourth shot, the same way we do with flu vaccines.
