(CNN) Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations are rising once again, prompting a new wave of cancellations and disruptions as the country prepares for another pandemic holiday season. "The cases are going up," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday night. The announcement by "Hamilton" -- which cited "breakthrough Covid-19 cases" -- came less than an hour before its 8 p.m. Professional sports leagues are also dealing with increases in Covid-19 cases, offering a "window" into wider community spread, according to former US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams. Separately, the NBA and the NHL announced in recent days the postponement of games due to Covid-19 cases or health and safety protocols.
