Coronavirus: U.S COVID-19 Connfirmed Cases Surged Above 4,570000

At least 1,419 new coronavirus deaths and 67,741 new cases were reported in the United States on July 31. Over the past week, there have been an average of 63,806 cases per day, a decrease of 3 per cent from the average two weeks earlier.

As of Saturday morning, more than 4,570,200 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 153,800 have died, according to a New York Times database.

Case numbers are surging throughout most of the United States, including in many states that were among the first to reopen. Because the number of people hospitalized and the percentage of people testing positive is also rising in many of those places, the case spike cannot be solely explained by increased testing. Still, coronavirus deaths remain well below their peak levels. And as some places reimpose restrictions, others continue to reopen their economies.
