Even as COVID-19 infections have been on the rise in the US, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that more than 90% of infections are caused by the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the Omicron variant
These subvariants differ significantly from the initial iterations of Omicron, and vaccination resistance deteriorates over time.
If you feel more comfortable doing so, don’t be afraid to keep wearing a face mask, Apple advised in the internal email, according to the report. Please respect each person’s choice to wear a mask or not, she added.
