COVID-19 Report from NBC5
The Latest |
All signs point to the U.S. national peak for daily deaths from COVID-19 to be nearing. While the models now show fewer deaths in the U.S., that highest point of daily loss should happen in the next few days. State and federal officials are cautioning, though, that while the national apex quickly approaches, some areas won’t see a peak in local deaths for weeks. Dr. Anthony Fauci said the number of hospitalizations in New York and Connecticut is decreasing and that’s a sign social distancing measures are working.
Here’s what else you need to know about COVID-19 around the world:
- There are more than 473,000 cases in the United States, and the death toll has passed 17,800.
- Globally, the number of cases has surpassed 1.6 million with more than 100,000 deaths.
- The main U.S. model is now showing fewer projected deaths, down to about 60,000 people by August.
- New York’s governor signed an executive order to bring more funeral directors to the state to help with a backlog of processing victims of COVID-19.
