The city of Tempe is seeing a decline in COVID-19 cases as the omicron variant relinquishes some of its hold on the community.
The city reported Monday its cases are down by 38% this week, from more than 10,500 cases to about 6,600. That follows the national trend as omicron’s surge begins to slow.
