Confirmed coronavirus cases are surging across the country, even as 30 states look to reopen and New York's numbers decline
New York — the epicenter of the US's coronavirus outbreak — and its neighbors in Connecticut and New Jersey are finally seeing a decline in new infections, deaths, and hospitalizations.
Most of these 30 states haven't met the Trump administration's national guidelines for reopening, according toThese guidelines include that states should see a "downward trajectory" in cases for two weeks before they begin reopening. Eighteen of the 30 states don't meet that threshold. Twenty-eight of the 30 states haven't met federally recommended 152 daily tests per 100,000 and in 18 states. And total testing in two states that are looking to reopen — South Dakota and Utah — is actually declining.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York's numbers, as compared to the rest of the country, indicate that other states should follow his lead in continuing to implement a strict lockdown.
