Coronavirus cases are rising by 10% or more compared with a week ago in 21 states.
An analysis of Johns Hopkins data by CNN finds that cases are increasing in Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington state, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. In 11 states, cases are declining, and, in 18, they are holding steady.
The current rate of increase suggests that a new wave may be forming.
"We really don’t know yet," Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director at the American Public Health Association, told the Washington Examiner recently. "What we do know for sure is that we are going to have these peaks and episodic outbreaks."
