While states lift more restrictions and more Americans go out to socialize or protest, almost half of US states are seeing higher rates of new coronavirus cases
More than 1.9 million Americans have been infected, and more than 110,000 have died in just over four months, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
"Yesterday, more than 136,000 cases were reported — the most in a single day so far," Tedros said Monday."Almost 75% of yesterday's cases come from 10 countries, mostly in the Americas and South Asia."About 60 million US coronavirus infections were likely averted through early April thanks to emergency orders, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley said.
"The study did not estimate how many lives might have been saved by the policies because, with so many infections, fatality rates would be much higher than anything observed to date," UC Berkeley said.While protesters flood streets to demand an end to systemic racism and police brutality, health officials emphasize the need to take precautions.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday it was closely monitoring the protests. In Utah, state Rep. Suzanne Harrison called a recent spike of cases"very concerning approaching exponential."Friday, health officials in Utah said they were"very concerned" about the rise in new cases over the past week."When you're away from home, please avoid close contact with others, and wear a mask when other social distancing measures aren't feasible," the Utah Department of Health tweeted.
