US COVID-19 deaths remain high despite falling cases
Several states, including New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, are starting to relax COVID-19 restrictions amid the decline in new
cases and hospitalizations, but experts said Americans should remain cautious
and be prepared for another surge due to the emergence of new COVID-19
variants, particularly the B.1.1.7 variant, which have been detected in 33
states. New CDC records showed almost 28 million people, or around 8.5% of the
US population, have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and
though new infections and hospitalizations are falling, the daily COVID-19
deaths have remained relatively high for weeks, reaching 4,805 fatalities on
Thursday, the most number of deaths in a single day.
