BERLIN — Local health-care professionals are again sounding the alarm that the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 could result in a spike in cases in late January or early February that could cause major disruptions to area businesses and other entities.

Members of the Androscoggin Valley COVID-19 Community Workgroup met last Thursday to go over the most recent updates on the virus. Coos County Family Health Services Chief Executive Officer Ken Gordon discussed with the group how to prepare for what comes next, especially concerning the new omicron variant.
