(Dan Tri) – The number of people infected and dying from Covid-19 in the US continues to increase to a record high.
The number of people infected and dying from Covid-19 in the US is forecast to increase rapidly in the coming days.
According to data on the Worldometer website, as of the afternoon of April 4 local time, the number of Covid-19 cases in the US was 308,175, a record increase of more than 31,000 cases compared to the previous day.
The number of cases and deaths in the US is forecast to increase sharply in the coming days as experts predict the peak of the epidemic will occur in the next 1-2 weeks.
At yesterday’s press conference, President Donald Trump warned that there will be more deaths in the coming week.
Up to now, most Americans have been advised to stay at home and only go out when necessary such as buying food, medicine, or visiting doctors.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said: `People are starting to understand that the best way to slow the spread of the epidemic and limit the number of deaths is to stay home, only going out when necessary.`
US President Donald Trump last week extended social isolation measures – one of the most effective measures currently considered to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
New York may reach its epidemic peak in a week
April 4 marked the `deadliest day` in the epidemic center of New York.
Mr. Cuomo said that while the situation in New York City is starting to get better, the situation on Long Island is especially worrying as the number of infections is increasing rapidly `like a fire spreading`.
“We have not yet reached the peak of the epidemic, but we are getting closer to the peak of the epidemic.
New York City alone accounts for more than a quarter of all deaths in the US.
