22 states, plus Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, have had at least one record day of COVID-19 cases since July 1. Alaska leads the pack, having set new daily records 7 times this month.

Before July 1, the country had never seen a day in which 50,000 new coronavirus cases had been confirmed. Since that day, the record has been surpassed 11 times, according to an NBC News tally of cases.
