Nationwide COVID hospitalizations increased by 8.7% during the week of Aug. 27 to Sept. 2, following a steady rise since mid-July, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Three omicron sub-variants — EG.5, XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 — are causing the escalation of cases.

Along with other states, Kansas has stopped updating the number of infected citizens on the Kansas Department of Health and Environment website since May 31, deeming the updates to be unneeded, according to the American Medical Association. Though the number of infected people has decreased since last winter, spring and early summer, there’s been a new surge of COVID cases in the past few weeks, according to Medical Director for the Infection Control and Prevention Program at the University of Kansas Medical Center Dr. Dana Hawinkson.
