New Coronavirus Cases Rise in U.S. Despite Slowdown in Testing

The U.S. reported more than 34,000 new coronavirus cases, higher than the daily totals of the past few days when testing slowed around the holiday weekend.

For Tuesday, the U.S. had 584,412 new tests, according to the Covid Tracking Project, comparing with 508,706 Monday. Both days were substantially lower than Sept. 3, when the number topped 900,000.

“If there is a Labor Day bump in cases, we probably will not be able to detect it until late September,” said Christine Ekenga, assistant professor of public health at Washington University in St. Louis.

California: Gov. Gavin Newsom said that, by one estimate, a “jaw dropping” 44% of small businesses in the state believed they might be forced to close because of the pandemic. He signed three bills Wednesday aimed at helping them, including one that will give up to $100 million in tax credits for small businesses that hire or rehire employees in the next three months.
