WASHINGTON • US coronavirus deaths rose by over 25,000 in July and cases doubled in 19 states during the month, according to a Reuters tally, dealing a crushing blow to hopes of quickly reopening the economy.
The biggest increases last month were in Florida, with over 310,000 new cases, followed by California and Texas with about 260,000 each. All three states saw cases doubling. Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York had the lowest increases, with cases rising 8 per cent or less. After a rapid acceleration in cases, the outbreak appears to be stabilising in Sunbelt states, including Arizona, Florida and Texas. Health officials are now concerned the outbreak has migrated to the Midwest, including the states of Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri, from summer travel.
