New coronavirus strain is more infectious but does not make people sicker: study - Business Insider - Business Insider

The US is currently seeing a resurgence of the coronavirus outbreak after multiple states across the country began reopening despite the fact that they did not meet one or more of the reopening guidelines the White House had put forward.

White House guidelines said that states should see either a two-week decrease in new cases or a two-week decline in their share of positive coronavirus tests before reopening.

On Friday, the US reported 51,842 new cases, making it the third consecutive day that the country reported more than 50,000 new infections.

Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California all reported record-high numbers of new cases this week; according to CNN, Florida reported nearly 9,500 new cases on Friday, and Texas reported 7,555 new cases after reporting around 8,000 new cases for two consecutive days?

The US has reported a total of 2,795,437 cases of the disease and 129,438 deaths since the disease gained a foothold within the country in January.

Multiple states have paused their reopening plans to mitigate the spread of the disease, while others have taken extra precautions to ensure they don't see a resurgence of new cases within their borders.
