Arizona rolls back reopening as coronavirus cases grow
Governors in Arizona and New Jersey have joined the growing list of state officials beginning to roll back or pause their reopening plans as coronavirus cases continue to climb across the U.S.
More than 12 states have now paused or rolled back their reopening plans as average new cases in the U.S. jumped 40% over the past week to about 39,750 per day on Monday, based on a seven-day moving average, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
New cases rose Monday by 5% or more in 40 states across the U.S., based on a seven-day average, and declined by 5% or more in just three states: New Hampshire, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Washington D.C. Arizona, Florida and California are now seeing an average of more than 5,000 new cases a day.
The recent daily spikes in cases are outpacing the numbers seen in April when the coronavirus was thought to have peaked in the U.S. The coronavirus is now spreading too rapidly and too broadly for the country to bring it under control, Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday.
