China News Service, March 29. According to real-time statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 7:26 on the 29th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of the new crown in the United States has exceeded 30.25 million, and the cumulative number of deaths has exceeded 549,000.

　　At present, the outbreaks in Michigan, Vermont and other places in the United States have rebounded. At the same time, the mutated virus is also continuing to spread. Epidemiologist Fauci warned that it is too early to relax epidemic prevention measures.

On the other hand, the United States is trying to develop a system to prove personal vaccination.

Rebound in multi-state outbreaks

Mutated viruses continue to spread

　　"I think we are welcoming the third surge in cases in Michigan."

On the 28th local time, Hellerton, Chief Medical Officer of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, said in response to the state's epidemic.

　　Hellerton pointed out that the state is currently the fastest growing number of patients between the ages of 10 and 19.

Hellerton attributed the increase in cases to several factors, including increased gatherings, reopening, and outbreaks in some prisons and schools.

　　In Vermont, the state reported more than 250 new confirmed cases on the 26th local time, setting the highest number of confirmed cases in the state since the beginning of the epidemic.

The state's health commissioner Levin said the increase may be due to higher temperatures, more people moving around, and the continued spread of the mutant new coronavirus.

　　New Hampshire officials also said recently that the state’s daily average number of new cases and virus test positive rates have increased recently; Ohio Governor Dewan believes that the decline in the number of new cases in the state has stalled and is concerned. Local cases will rise again.

　　At the same time, the mutant new coronavirus, which was first discovered in the UK, is continuing to spread in many parts of the United States.

So far, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported more than 8,300 related cases.

The agency has previously stated that this number only represents cases discovered through genetic sequencing.

　　CDC Director Valensky said on the 26th local time that CDC is continuing to expand the monitoring of this mutated virus and is watching this special mutated virus "very closely".

Fauci warns of another surge in U.S. cases

Point out that it is too early to relax epidemic prevention measures

　　In response to the current situation of the epidemic, American infectious disease expert Fauci warned on the 28th local time that the number of daily increasing cases in the United States has been at a steady state, which means that the United States may again face the risk of a surge in infections.

　　Fauci believes that “when the number of cases falls from a peak to a certain point and begins to stabilize, once it stops at that stable state, there is a danger of rising again.” Fauci pointed out, “Unfortunately, this is what We will see soon."

　　Fauci pointed out that, in addition to the spread of the mutant virus, the increase in travel during spring vacation and the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures also "played a role."

　　Fauci also pointed out that in response to the cancellation of anti-epidemic measures such as mask injunctions in some areas, "Several states have already done this. I think it is too early."

Vaccination continues to advance

The Biden government plans to launch a "vaccine passport"

　　According to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of now, more than 51 million people in the United States have completed the new crown vaccination.

　　The Washington Post quoted a senior U.S. official as reporting that the U.S. government is currently working to develop a system through which people can prove that they have been vaccinated against the new crown.

　　Previously, US media reported that several companies in the United States have begun to develop similar smartphone applications or systems. Users can obtain digital credentials after uploading data and use them to enter stadiums, movie theaters and other public facilities.

　　The official pointed out that many government agencies in the United States are involved in this plan, but “it is largely led by the Department of Health and Human Services, which also includes an office dedicated to health technology.” It will be coordinated by the White House.
