Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman says the CDC is reporting 85% of all COVID cases are the BA.2 variant and that it's probably the same case for cases in the region. However, he notes current trends locally are going in the right direction.

The BA.2 variant likely won't cause major problems locally because of the number of vaccinated people in the community and those who have already had the omicron variant.

The BA.2 subvariant is causing a big surge in some parts of the world, and officials have already confirmed the more infectious variant is in the U.S.

Regular testing could be reinstated for Cincinnati Public Schools employees if COVID-19 cases rise again.
