The number of new coronavirus cases in the United States is surging once again after growth slowed in late summer
While the geography of the pandemic is now shifting to the Midwest and to more rural areas, cases are trending upward in most states, many of which are setting weekly records for new cases
The case curves show new cases reported each day nationwide, and the maps show the number of new cases reported in each county in the preceding two weeks

And the continuing spread of cases to new areas of the country suggests the outbreak is far from over
“We are headed in the wrong direction, and that’s reflected not only in the number of new cases but also in test positivity and the number of hospitalizations,†said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University
The rise since mid-September has been especially profound in the Midwest and Mountain West, where hospitals are filling up and rural areas are seeing staggering outbreaks
The regions are home to almost all of the metro areas with the country’s worst outbreaks right now
“It concerns me that we might see even more cases during the next peak than we did during the summer.â€
The average number of new coronavirus cases per day first peaked in mid-April, when New York City and its surrounding areas were hit hard
Over the summer, the number of new cases per day soared past the April peak
Cases remained high after the July surge, and they continue to rise in parts of the South, including Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
In the Northeast, the number of new cases stayed remarkably flat over the summer
