US nears 7 million Covid-19 cases as 23 states report rising numbers
Nearly half of US states are reporting a rise in cases of Covid-19 as the country nears 7 million cases nationwide -- yet another grim milestone.
Twenty-three states, most across the US heartland and Midwest, have reported an increase of new cases compared to the previous week, according to a CNN analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.
About 16 states' case numbers are holding steady, while 11 -- Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia -- saw a decline.
California became the first state to surpass 800,000 infections, according to Johns Hopkins data. Texas is second, with about 747,500 cases, followed by Florida with some 695,000 cases.
