MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Omicron accounts for all new Covid cases in Wisconsin.
Health officials in Milwaukee are seeing a rise in the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants.
The Milwaukee Health Department updated city leaders at a committee hearing Thursday morning, July 21. Officials say Covid rates have remained in extreme transmission throughout the summer.
This time last year, Wisconsin was not seeing such a high rate of cases and transmission.
"It's being highly encouraged that any individual who is currently not up to date and eligible for a booster dose get themselves boosted," said Dr. Heather Paradis, medical director at the Milwaukee Health Department.
Last week, health officials issued a mask advisory.
The CDC recommends everyone masks indoors and in crowded places.
