In the United States, new cases of contagion continue to increase

In the United States, new daily cases of coronavirus have been increasing for the past few days. Such as he wrote the Washington Post, Saturday 27 June – in which 44,782 new cases of infection were recorded – has been the fifth consecutive day on which the new cases were greater than the previous day. And since the start of the pandemic there have never been so many new cases registered in a single day.

The increase in new cases is partly attributable the increase in the number of tests that are carried outbut it is also a consequence of the fact that several states, in particular those in the south of the country, are finding a significantly higher number of cases than in the past. Some are also deciding to postpone the planned reopenings, or even think of returning to impose limitations they had removed.

Most of the new daily cases come from large and populous states like Florida, Texas, California and Arizona. As he wrote the Washington Post, among the states that have had the most new daily cases in recent days are also Georgia, South Carolina and Nevada.

In Florida the new cases recorded in the last few days are always close to 10,000 and in Texas there are now several days that do not drop below 5,000. And Texas and Florida are two states that like he pointed out the Wall Street Journal, “Were among the last to impose restrictions and among the first to reopen.” Both in Florida and Texas have been reintroduced some restrictions, in particular relating to bars and public places, and others are expected in the coming days.

The problems, however, are not only in the southern states of the United States. Even the state of Washington, on the border with Canada and which in March had been the one with the most cases of coronavirus, is postponing the planned reopenings.

In the meantime, the confirmed cases in the United States have exceeded 2.5 million, about 25 percent of those identified worldwide, and the United States is both the country with the most cases and the one with the most deaths recorded: according to latest data, over 125 thousand.
