The state’s acting secretary of health is promoting a new, COVID Safe Summer Vaccination event. Speaking in Harrisburg last week, Dr. Denise Johnson says even though more people are outside in warmer temperatures, COVID cases have not decreased. She says the new trend is due to new, highly ineffective Omicron variants of the virus. In April there were an average of roughly 13-hundred new cases per day. But nearly 4,000 new cases have been recorded for May, so far.
