United States sees increase in daily Covid-19 cases

The average number of people infected in New York is now nearly five times higher than a month ago, which is why health officials say more people are dying every day.

Meanwhile, in national terms, the numbers have risen to nearly 500, a 183% increase last month over the previous month.

Seven weeks ago, daily deaths were at their lowest since late March 2020. In fact, the average had fallen to eleven thousand infections per day, before the first wave. But the rise of the delta variant, highly contagious, with preventative measures, brought a series of bad news to the country.

Currently, 70% of adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine against the virus, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). More than 193 million people received the first dose, while more than 165 million received two doses of the vaccine.

Antoine Fauci, who advises President Joe Biden on health issues, He warned that if the Delta is left unchecked, the chances of a new strain emerging that “could be more problematic” will increase.

In addition, the director also of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, pointed out the possible final approval of key vaccines by the Federal Medicines Agency (FDA).
