1,352 new infections today in VT, again shattering records [View all]

A day after Vermont shattered its previous record for new COVID infections, the state set yet another record.

The state on Thursday reported 1,352 new infections. That surpasses Wednesday’s record of 940 new cases. The previous single-day record before that was 740 cases on Dec. 10.

State officials had anticipated a surge in cases during the four weeks following the holidays, brought on in part by the fast-spreading omicron variant.

Thursday, Vermont reported three additional deaths, bringing the death toll to 471.

There are 56 people hospitalized, 19 of them in the ICU.

The state’s percent positive seven-day average hit 7.3%
