COVID-19 infections are rising in Kansas City, and the BA.5 variant is reinfecting people who’ve had COVID in the past. Local doctors are warning the community that the risk of catching this virus in public is much higher than it was a few months ago. The variant may be able to better evade the antibodies caused by previous infection or vaccines. Built-up immunity in your body may not be able to prevent infection if you’ve already had it. Aside from getting vaccinated and boosted, doctors are recommending wearing masks in public settings, washing your hands, attending events outdoors when possible and avoiding large gatherings.
