The U.S. reported more than 60,000 new coronavirus cases for the second day in a row, as the spread continues to accelerate in most states.
The more than 62,000 cases reported Wednesday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, exceed the 60,315 reported on Tuesday. They bring the total cases reported in the U.S. to more than 8.33 million. More than 222,000 people have died in the U.S.
The seven-day moving average of new cases, which smooths out irregularities in the data, was 59,527 nationwide as of Tuesday, and the 14-day average was 55,282, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Johns Hopkins Data. When the seven-day average is higher than the 14-day average, it suggests cases are on the rise.
The seven-day average was higher than the 14-day average in 42 states for the second day in a row on Tuesday. Nationwide, it has been higher since Oct. 5.
