The nation is far from out of the woods, but over the past 30 days the country and states have seen positive trends.
President Donald Trump's 30-day plan to slow the spread of the new coronavirus expires Thursday and America is far from out of the woods, but positive trends have emerged nationwide and on a state-by-state basis.
Although that trend ended on Tuesday, when an estimated 24,400 new cases were reported, new cases were still lower than they had been since March 31. However, on Thursday about 27,300 cases were reported, so it's unclear if that upward trend will continue for a few days, as it has historically, or if it's a one-off increase.
In March, Trump extended his initial 15-day plan to April 30. It advised people to stay home if they or their children felt sick, if they were in a vulnerable population or if they lived with someone who tested positive. The plan also encouraged Americans to avoid discretionary travel, in-person dining and social gatherings of more than 10 people.
New cases in New York were on a downward trend since last Sunday, when officials reported about 5,900 cases, compared with Saturday's estimated 10,600. The trend continued until Tuesday, when New York had about 3,100 new cases, the lowest to be reported since March 21. But on Wednesday new cases rose to about 4,600, which, although an increase, is still on the lower end of new-case counts for the state.
