A combined 25,000 daily new confirmed coronavirus cases in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas are fueling a surge as the U.S. heads into a holiday weekend.
Nebraska and South Dakota were the only states outside the Northeast with a downward trend in cases.
Abbott said in a video posted on Twitter that the state’s lower infection rate and case counts after his stay-home order in April might have led some to think the “coast was clear.” The surge comes as Americans head into a Fourth of July holiday that health officials warn could add fuel to the outbreak by drawing big crowds. Many municipalities have canceled fireworks displays. Beaches up and down California and Florida have been closed.for the first time Thursday. That is six times higher than the daily count of less than a month ago.
Pennsylvania, an outlier among Northeastern states, reported its highest one-day total of new cases since May, with more than 830, more than one-quarter of them in Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County, which will impose a one-week shutdown of bars and restaurants and all gatherings of more than 25 people starting Friday.
