The U.S. SUN: COVID CLIMBING Arizona, Arkansas, Utah, and the other 18 states where coronavirus is on the rise again
CORONAVIRUS cases across the US are spiking up again after states eagerly reopened and as protesters demonstrated George Floyd’s death in large gatherings throughout the country.
In 21 states, including Arizona, Arkansas, and Utah, cases are rising again after the states reopened local businesses amid the outbreak.
As of Wednesday, the US reported more than 2,040,000 cases of the virus, with over 114,000 related deaths.
If state governors hadn’t enforced coronavirus lockdowns when they did from January to April of this year, the outbreak could have been much worse, a new study claims.
At least 60million cases in the US were prevented by the shutdowns and tough restrictions from health and local officials, according to a team at the University of California, Berkeley.
But as the number of cases dropped because of socially distancing and safety measures, and as governors eagerly and quickly allowed their states to reopen, cases are rising once again.
