Over the past week, Florida accounted for nearly a quarter of all new cases in the United States -- more than any other state.

The case rate in the state over the past week -- about 49 new cases per 100,000 people each day -- is more than three times the US rate of about 16 new cases per 100,000 people each day.

Only Arkansas and Louisiana had higher case rates over the past week.

Florida also reported more Covid-19 deaths than any other state over the past week -- a total of 282 over the past week -- the sixth highest per capita rate of deaths in the country.

The state has fully vaccinated 48.5% of its residents, according to data from the CDC -- below the US rate of 49.1%.
