The seven-day average of daily coronavirus cases in the U.S.

Covid cases, based on a seven-day moving average, reached 72,790 on Friday, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That's higher than the peak in average daily cases seen last summer, when the country was reporting about 68,700 new cases per day, according to the CDC.

The daily average in Covid cases has since dropped, however, falling to 68,326 new cases per day on Saturday and 63,250 new cases per day on Sunday, according to the agency.

Rather it shows a continued increase in the seven-day average to nearly 80,000 new cases per day as of Sunday.

The CDC director's comments come as Covid cases in the U.S.

One out of 3 Covid cases occurred in Florida and Texas over the past week, White House Covid czar Jeff Zients said Monday.

The seven-day average of hospital admissions is about 6,200 per day, an increase of about 41% from the previous seven-day period, according to Walensky.
