States Impose Flurry of Measures as Covid Cases Surge

States are slapping new restrictions on daily life as the coronavirus rages in a resurgence that some officials say is the most widespread and intense since the pandemic hit in March.

Governors in New York, Maryland, Minnesota, Iowa, Utah and other states have imposed measures as U.S. cases hit another high Wednesday, topping 100,000 for the ninth day in a row, while hospitalizations rose to a record 65,386, according to the Covid Tracking Project.

“It’s on fire. We’ve got to slow it down,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in an interview Wednesday evening. “We’ve never seen anything like this. Our spring surge and summer surge were nowhere like this.”

While governments in Europe and the U.K. have recently imposed broad lockdown measures as coronavirus cases rise, many states have so far resisted full lockdowns, saying that they know more about how the virus spreads, and how to prepare hospitals, than they did in the spring, and that they want to avoid hurting struggling businesses and households. Public-policy makers, however, aren’t necessarily precluding broader closures if the spread of the virus worsens.
