CONCORD — With the number of new COVID-19 cases doubling in a week to about 2,500 a day across the state, Gov. Chris Sununu announced last Wednesday that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is now the dominant strain and warned that hospitalizations will likely continue to be very high for the next two months.

The state also announced at Sununu’s press conference that it will no longer offer daily numbers for deaths from the virus but will put out an average, which now is about nine or 10 fatalities per day.
