Where states reopened and cases spiked after the U.S. shutdown

Primary tabs

Hundreds of millions of people started moving around again. Now, the latest surge is here, with new restrictions.

States that lifted coronavirus restrictions are reversing course as cases surge and hospitals fill up across the Sun Belt. The alarming spread “puts the entire country at risk,” Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert, told a Senate panel June 30. New infections have been numbering more than 40,000 a day, and cases could “go up to 100,000 a day,” he warned, “if this does not turn around.”

Beaches and bars that reopened for Memorial Day shut back down for the Fourth of July. Masks are now required in many states and on all airlines. Governors in several states that were among the hardest hit in the opening months of the pandemic are requiring travelers from the new hot zones to self-quarantine upon arrival. School districts and universities are reevaluating plans for the fall.
