Taiwan's CDC says a newly identified Omicron subvariant of COVID-19 now accounts for over 85% of cases in the past four weeks, as the country recorded three deaths from the virus last week and a seasonal record for new severe cases. Health officials are urging high-risk groups who received their last dose three months ago to get a second booster shot as soon as possible, with free doses available through late September while supplies last.
