The number of coronavirus cases nationally have dropped 75% from the highs of mid-January, and more states are dropping indoor mask mandates. California's indoor mask mandate ends Monday.

Science shows the value of boosters against COVID, but many vaccinated people haven't gotten the shot. About 40% of people who are eligible have been boosted, which could be bad if COVID surges again.

As COVID-19 cases drop, the U.S. hospitalization rate is still high — as is the death rate. Still, many infectious disease experts are cautiously optimistic for the upcoming months.

This latest coronavirus surge has set back a return to "normal." COVID is never going away -– and that has implications for hospitals, schools and public health officials.

Many experts warn there will be more infections on the downslope of the omicron surge, but we're on the path to the virus becoming endemic — and that should mean fewer interruptions to daily life.

Each U.S. household can order four tests from COVIDtests.gov. The administration also plans to give out 400 million N95 masks for free through pharmacies, grocery stores and community health centers.

Coronavirus cases are still at pandemic highs with more than 800,000 new cases reported daily. But there are signs this surge may begin to abate soon, and some places may already be past their peak.

Most of us will eventually get COVID but that's not an invitation to party with omicron. Here's why you might want to hang onto your mask and keep cautious a little longer.

Public health experts say COVID-19 won't be eradicated, but studies show the omicron variant is less severe than delta, and there are ways to manage the disease — which will become predictable.

The U.S. is averaging more than 700,000 cases of the coronavirus every day. And the number of people being hospitalized across the country, including young children, is hitting new highs, too.

The omicron wave in the U.S. will likely continue to the end of January, then start to recede rapidly. Former advisers to President Biden say a new strategy is needed to help the U.S. live with COVID.

The best way to support your loved ones who don't want to drink is to make sure drinking feels like a choice — not an obligation.

COVID hospitalizations among children have increased 97% over the last week to 575 admissions per day. Infectious disease experts talk about treating children with omicron and who is most at-risk.

The U.S. is now averaging between 300,000 and 400,000 new cases of COVID-19 each day. That's leading to difficult questions over cancelling events and having students back in the classroom.

COVID cases are hitting record highs with about 240,000 people testing positive a day. But the omicron variant behind the surge may lead to milder illness, especially in vaccinated and boosted people.

As omicron continues to spread, the CDC loosened isolation guidelines. Some infectious disease experts say the revisions should come with stronger mask and testing requirements.

Infectious disease experts say the CDC's new five-day isolation period is "reasonable" but may fall flat because the mask period it vital, but people generally aren't compliant with mask requirements.

The U.S. is now averaging 125,000 new COVID-19 cases a day. While delta is still surging, the highly transmissible omicron variant likely will become the dominant variant very soon.

Your college kid just got home and may be a bit jaded about COVID. But your coming holiday visit could be a real risk to grandparents. Here's how one mom is getting through to her sons about safety.

In three weeks, the latest coronavirus variant has spread to at least 36 U.S. states. Colleges are among the institutions taking steps to avoid new outbreaks.
