Arcturus, a more infectious COVID subvariant, has been making up a greater percentage of coronavirus cases nationwide.
Arcturus, also known as XBB.1.16, has also attracted attention after reports linking it to what has been a rare COVID-19 symptom: pink eye.. Only about 40% of L.A. County seniors 65 and older have received the updated COVID-19 vaccination, which was introduced in September.
However, COVID-19’s third-place ranking represents an improvement since 2021, when the illness was the leading cause of death. In 2020, COVID-19 was the second leading cause of death, trailing coronary heart disease. Older people who are unvaccinated or not up to date on their vaccinations are the most likely to die from COVID-19.
