  The DAMIC experiment employs large-area, thick charge-coupled devices (CCDs)
to search for the interactions of low-mass dark matter particles in the
galactic halo with silicon atoms in the CCD target. From 2017 to 2019, DAMIC
collected data with a seven-CCD array (40-gram target) installed in the SNOLAB
underground laboratory. We report dark-matter search results, including a
conspicuous excess of events above the background model below 200 eV$_{\rm
ee}$, whose origin remains unknown. We present details of the published
spectral analysis, and update on the deployment of skipper CCDs to perform a
more precise measurement by early 2023.
