Florida set a new record with confirmed coronavirus cases rising over 11,000 in one day
For a second straight day, Texas also registered an all-time high in the number of people hospitalized with the highly contagious respiratory illness - 7,890 patients after 238 new admissions over the past 24 hours.
And in a further sign the virus is spreading, at least 18 states, including the three most highly populated - California, Texas and Florida - have posted ominous rates of infection as a percentage of diagnostic tests over the past two weeks. Florida’s confirmed coronavirus cases rose by a record 11,458 on Saturday, the state’s health department said, marking the second time in three days that its caseload jumped by more than 10,000 in 24 hours.
In Texas, meanwhile, the number of new cases rose by a record 8,258 on Saturday. North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alaska, Missouri, Idaho and Alabama all registered new daily highs on Friday. Eleven states averaged double-digit rates over the past seven days – Arizona , Florida , Nevada , South Carolina , Alabama , Texas , Mississippi , Georgia , Idaho 11%), Kansas and Utah . That was up from four states with double-digit rates two weeks ago.
Arkansas on Friday joined a push toward mandating mask-wearing in public. Governor Asa Hutchinson authorized the state’s cities and towns to enact a “model ordinance” requiring face coverings.The move came a day after Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered face masks worn in most public places, reversing his stance following an alarming rise in infections.
