Coronavirus Live News: Cases rise in 22 US states as France announces more “red zones” for Covid-19 | world News

The French government said, on Sunday, that the French authorities have put seven other departments covering major cities such as Lille, Strasbourg and Dijon on high alert as COVID-19 cases accelerate.

Of the 101 administrations on the mainland and abroad in France, 28 are now considered “red zones” as the authorities will be able to impose exceptional measures to slow the number of cases of the new coronavirus.

The move comes as France reported nearly 9,000 daily cases on Friday and 8,550 other cases in the past 24 hours on Saturday, when the nationwide test-positive rate rose to 4.7 percent.

More on the increase in cases in the United States: On a percentage basis, South Dakota has recorded the largest increase over the past two weeks at 126%, reporting more than 3,700 new cases. Health officials have linked some of the rise to the hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists who disembarked in Sturgis, South Dakota for an annual rally in August, Reuters reported.

Cases are also rising rapidly in Iowa, with 13,600 new infections in the past two weeks, and North Dakota, with 3,600 new cases in the same period.

The nationwide increases were masked by fewer new infections in the more populous states of California, Florida and Texas.

In California, cases decreased by 39,000 in the past two weeks compared to the previous two weeks, compared to an increase of 37,000 cases in 22 states in the same period, according to Reuters analysis of state and county data.

Coronavirus cases are increasing in 22 of the 50 U.S. states, according to a Reuters analysis, and it’s a worrying trend on Labor Day weekend traditionally filled with family gatherings and end-of-summer parties.

Less than three weeks ago, cases were increasing in just three states, Hawaii, Illinois and South Dakota, according to an analysis that compares cases in the two-week period from August 8 to 22 with the past two weeks.

Most of the 22 states with rising cases are now located in the least populated parts of the Midwest and South.

While cases have decreased nationally from their peak in July, the United States is entering the Labor Day weekend with an average of 44,000 new cases per day – double the number before the Memorial Day weekend of May 23-25.

Many health experts partially blame the July spike in the social gatherings that take place on Memorial Day.
