Concerns are mounting in the United States of America (USA) about increasing cases of what health officials have deemed a triple pandemic of "influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus ( RSV), and Coronavirus ( known also as COVID-19).

And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is once again urging Americans to wear face masks indoors.

According to the agency's report, published by The Hill, 13.7 percent of Americans now live in communities now designated with "high" COVID-19 community levels, up from 4.9 percent of residents last week, and 38.1 percent of Americans are in areas of "high" COVID-19 medium” and 48.2 percent in “low” areas

A number of major cities are also now looking to return to mask measures, in California, there are more than 10 counties, which are now at a "high" level of infections.

Los Angeles County health officials again strongly recommend that everyone wear masks indoors. Over the past week, Los Angeles hospitals have seen 1,245 coronavirus patients per day, which is nearly 20 percent more patients than in the previous seven days.
