WASHINGTON In the United States, more than 45,000 new cases of covid-19 disease arrived on Friday, a record for the current pandemic, according to Reuters. The largest increases since the beginning of the infection have also been recorded in the US states of Florida and Arizona, which are now hampering plans to restore economic and social life. In the United States, where 330 million people live, according to Reuters, the limit of 2.5 million infected people has been exceeded.

The USA has long been the most affected country in the world in terms of both infections and deaths. While Reuters has reported more than 2.5 million cases in the United States, Johns Hopkins University in the United States (JHU) reports 2.49 million infected, of whom more than 125,000 have contracted infection-related complications. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists 2.41 million infected and over 124,000 victims on its website.
The number of new cases in the US has started to rise sharply in recent days. Nearly 40,000 new infections were recorded on Thursday, a record during the pandemic. Friday’s data again overwrote the current maximum, 45,255 infected were reported according to JHU.
The Florida Department of Health reported 9,585 patients last day, the largest daily increase since the onset of the pandemic. In Arizona, the local health department reported 3,591, which, along with June 23, is also the daily high.

Experts in the US are urging the public to follow quarantine rules and use drapes due to new outbreaks. US states, where the number of patients is growing, are suspending the relaxation of rules, or are tightening them again. For the first time in almost two months, a public briefing was organized by the White House anti-coronavirus team, which called on young people in particular to respect the regulations and recommendations of health professionals.
Fauci called on young people in particular to be held accountable
The rapidly growing number of new cases of coronavirus in the southern United States is a serious problem. This was stated by the renowned epidemiologist Anthony Fauci on Friday at the first press conference, which was organized by the crisis staff of the White House in many weeks. Vice President Mike Pence, who is the main coordinator of the fight against the pandemic, assured the public that the current situation is not as serious as the one in which the Northeastern United States was located a few months ago.
“We have a serious problem in some areas,” Fauci said, urging young people in particular to act responsibly. According to the US authorities, about half of the newly infected are under 35 years of age. Most of them may not show any symptoms of covid-19, and may unknowingly spread the infection.

Vice President Pence sounded more optimistic in his speech. He noted that 34 states report stable numbers and that the increase in the daily number of newly infected comes from only 16 states, in which the virus also spreads in concentrated outbreaks. “As we see the growth of new cases, which we trace very closely, Americans might think we are at the same point as we were two months ago. That we are again in a time of great losses and great hardship for the American people. In fact, we are much better off, “said the vice president. “The truth is that we have been able to slow down the spread of the virus,” Pence added, urging Americans to maintain the necessary distance from others and hygiene habits. However, he did not mention wearing veils.
In the south and west of the USA, the number of new infections has been growing in the last few weeks, especially in countries that were not significantly affected by the covid-19 pandemic in the first months. The states of Texas and Florida therefore tightened some social restrictions again on Friday after weeks of easing restrictions. Florida has seen the largest number of SARS-CoV-2 positive findings to date in the last 24 hours since the onset of the pandemic. The entire United States also broke the record, with nearly 40,000 new cases appearing in statistics last day.

Pence also defended President Donald Trump’s election rallies at the time of the coronavirus spread, saying that participation was voluntary and that Americans continued to have the right to participate in the political process.
Trump canceled a planned weekend visit to his golf resort in New Jersey on Friday, for which the White House has not yet provided an explanation. White House spokesman Judd Deere only said the decision was unrelated to New Jersey’s recent request that anyone recently in a coronavirus-affected state spend 14 days in solitary confinement upon arrival. At the same time, Trump visited Arizona this week, which is one of the countries in which the number of newly infected is currently growing the fastest.
