NEW YORK - The reopening and relaxing of social distancing restrictions in some states may be contributing to the first noticeable nationwide increase in coronavirus fatalities since April, when the pandemic initially peaked.
Public health experts have pointed to a few factors that help explain why the death count was initially flat. Treatment has improved and young people, who are less likely to die from Covid-19, make up a larger share of new cases. That lag may have come to an end two weeks ago, as the number of new deaths began to rise. Many of the states that reopened early are the ones seeing the biggest increases, while New York, the country's hardest-hit city, has seen a 64 per cent drop since June 1.
