New Corona U.S. Infectious Diseases Over 6 Million Will Infection Spread by Resuming University Class?
In the United States, which has the highest number of people infected with the new coronavirus, the cumulative number of people infected has exceeded 6 million.
While many universities in the United States are entering their new semesters, there are many cases in which infection has spread to universities that have resumed classes on campus.
According to a summary by Johns Hopkins University, the cumulative number of infected people in the United States exceeded 6 million 9899 people and 6 million people at 3:00 a.m. Japan time.
In addition, the number of deaths exceeds 180,000, and the number of infected people and deaths is the highest in the world.
Among them, the number of new infections has rapidly increased in the Midwestern states of Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota over the past week, but universities in each state have resumed classes on campus. It seems to be one of the causes.
Of these, in the state of Iowa, the number of new infections per day was around 500 until early August, but 600 students a week at the largest university in the state, which resumed classes in late August. As the infections of these students were reported, the number of new infections in the entire state exceeded 2600 on the 27th of August.
The spread of infection due to reopening of the university is occurring in areas other than the Midwest, and at the University of Alabama in Southern Alabama, more than 1,000 students were confirmed infected since August 19 when they resumed classes on campus. It means that
CNN TV reported that as of August 30, there were at least 8,700 infected people in college in at least 36 states.
As many colleges in the United States enter their new semester, they are faced with severe judgments on how to continue face-to-face classes while suppressing the spread of infection.
