Twenty-six states are reporting growing numbers of new coronavirus cases as the first wave of the United States' COVID-19 outbreak rages on.
A high positivity rate can be a sign that a state is only testing its sickest patients and failing to cast a net wide enough to accurately capture community transmission, according to Johns Hopkins University, which has been tracking cases around the globe.
"Many people equate reopening with being safe," Ernst said."While there is certainly some uptake of masks and physical distancing, it is not ubiquitous." "While we are all experiencing a pandemic, it is broken into broad community transmission and many smaller defined outbreaks that have unique circumstances to be addressed. We are not yet in the place where we have well-developed capacity to test and do contact tracing for all of our cases," she said.
In response to the influx of cases and hospitalizations, Arizona has recruited traveling nurses to help treat coronavirus patients.
