COVID-19 Activity

COVID-19 activity is increasing in the state.

Mississippi is seeing increasing cases of the COVID-19 omicron variant, which are now approaching 200 per day, with a continuing upward trend. While the majority of cases occur in those 50 and older, infection can still cause serious illness and hospitalization for those who are younger, especially if they have not been fully vaccinated, with any booster doses they may be eligible for. If it has been more than four months since your last vaccination dose, you may need a booster.
