On Tuesday, the U.S. recorded 111,162 new cases of Covid with a seven-day rolling average of 117,223, a 26% drop from the 160,157 average reported one month ago (left). More than half of U.S. states, 32 in total, and the District of Columbia have seen Covid infections either decline or hold steady over the last week (top right). Nearly every state has given at least one dose to half their residents with five states – Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont – doing so to three-quarters of their populations (bottom right). Deaths rose with 2,543 virus-related fatalities recorded on Tuesday and a seven-day rolling average of 2,049, a 54% increase from the 2,049 average deaths recorded one month ago, but experts say deaths are a lagging indicator. Former hotspot California is reporting the lowest COVID-19 case rate in the country with a seven-day rate of 77 infections per 100,000. Another former hotspot, Florida, recorded 5,056 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday with a seven-day rolling average of 6,492, the lowest figure seen since July 15.
