Omicron continues to spread through the U.S. this winter. Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 have doubled in more than a dozen states. President Joe Biden is set to announce that the government is deploying additional medical teams to states in need.

The president also announced a plan to require health care insurers to reimburse Americans for at-home COVID-19 tests.
