New York and New Jersey have the highest number of people testing positive for COVID-19, according to the CDC latest data.
New York and New Jersey were the two states with the highest rates of people testing positive for COVID-19 over the last week, according to the latest data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska followed suit, with a positivity rate of 15.4 percent last week, down by 1.2 percent compared to the week before. The drop in positivity among Americans on a national level, as reported by the CDC, is good news. However, experts fear that the virus could spread further across the population in the fall and winter at the same time as students return to school and other seasonal illnesses—including colds and the flu—increase, weakening people's immune systems.Last week, the CDC estimates that there were about 20,538 people hospitalized because of COVID-19, a jump by 7.
