Coronavirus Cases in the United States at Record Lows

Covid-19 cases in the United States are the lowest they’ve been in over a year. On Tuesday White House Senior Covid-19 Adviser Andy Slavitt said “for the first time since the pandemic began, Covid cases are down in all 50 states. We are winning the war on the virus, and we need you to help us finish the job.” According to data from Johns Hopkins the United States has averaged around 31,100 new cases and more than 600 Covid-19 deaths daily over the past week.

According to the CDC, 47.7% of the population in the United States have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccination and about 37.5% of the population is fully vaccinated. During a press conference on Tuesday, Slavitt also urged young Americans to get vaccinated because doing so will not only protect their own lives but those around them and help the country return to normal.
