In recent days, the epidemic situation in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, which was the "most severely affected area", has continued to improve, including a downward trend in the number of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
New York State Governor Como held the last daily routine epidemic briefing on that day. Como said that the current rate of new-week coronary infections in New York State hospitalized patients has reached the lowest value since the outbreak. The number of new infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in New York City also reached the minimum. "After 111 days of hell-like experience, we did what was impossible."
Como said that New York has now come out of its predicament, most parts of New York State have entered the second phase of restart, and New York City will also enter the second phase of restart on the 22nd.
Compared with the obvious improvement of the epidemic situation in the eastern United States, the epidemic situation in the central and western regions of the United States tends to be severe. On that day, California, Arizona, and Florida all recorded the highest number of new cases since the outbreak.
In California, 4,317 new cases of new crowns were diagnosed on the same day, the highest increase since the outbreak occurred for two consecutive days. California Governor Newsom said that people will be required to wear masks in public places in California, otherwise they will be fined.
The Arizona Department of Health, which also has the highest record of new cases, also issued a statement requiring people to wear masks and maintain "social distance" to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
In addition, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, etc. have also seen 7-day averages of new cases reached their highest record since the outbreak.
On the same day, the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected a complaint prohibiting US President Trump from holding a campaign rally in the city of Tulsa because of the epidemic. Trump's campaign rally will be held in Tulsa on the 20th as originally planned.
White House press secretary McNani said at the press conference that day, he will take measures to take temperature measures and distribute masks to participants. But she said she would not wear a mask. "Whether to wear a mask depends on personal wishes. I check regularly, so I think it is safe for me not to wear a mask."
Fuch, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview with the media that large-scale crowd gathering and wearing no masks would increase the chance of infection, and he was "very worried" about these behaviors. The recent "anti-scientific sentiment" and the act of ignoring the epidemic prevention guidelines made him "deeply disappointed and upset."
Affected by the rebound of the epidemic, Apple, which has recently "restarted", announced that it will reopen some retail stores in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. Apple's move triggered market concerns that "close again" sentiment caused US stocks to fall. (Finish)
