Where COVID-19 cases are rising in the United States

WASHINGTON, DC: Nearly all 50 American states have begun to allow some businesses to reopen and residents to move more freely, but only 14 states have met the federal government's guidelines for lifting measures aimed at fighting the pandemic, according to a Reuters analysis.

"There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control and, in fact, paradoxically, will set you back, not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided, but could even set you back on the road to try to get economic recovery," Fauci told Congress.Nationally, new cases of COVID-19, caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, are down 11 per cent in the last week, according to the Reuters analysis.

Minnesota had the second-highest increase in new cases, up over 50 per cent in early May, in part due to expanded testing of anyone with symptoms. Previously only a limited number of ill patients could get a test.Several western states are also seeing new cases rise. Analysts looking at cell phone data have reported an increase of movement around the country, even in states that have yet to reopen.The main reason that new cases are down nationally is due to 33 per cent declines in both New York and New Jersey - the epicentre of the outbreak - in the past week.

Once they reopen, the cases go up again and they won't be locking down a second time.
