Covid-19 cases continued to grow over the weekend in nearly a dozen states as the nation's leading infectious disease expert warns about the nation's worrying level of new infections.
While cases are growing in 11 states, the overall daily average of new cases in the U.S. is declining. Over the past seven days, the country has reported an average of about 34,300 new cases per day, down more than 15% compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of Hopkins data. That's far lower than the roughly 70,000 new cases a day the U.S. was reporting weeks ago.
Earlier in the day, the CEO of Pfizer, one of the frontrunners in the race for a Covid-19 vaccine, said its vaccine could be distributed to AmericansThe company is currently in late-stage testing and hopes to enroll up to 44,000 participants. Even if a vaccine is approved to be distributed before the end of the year, it will likely be in short supply. The vaccine will likely require two doses at varying intervals, and states still face logistical challenges such as setting up distribution sites and acquiring enough needles, syringes and bottles needed for immunizations.
