Virus surges in U.S. South, West; Pence cancels campaign events
Source:Â Reuters
Five states hit record daily highs for coronavirus cases on Saturday, and Vice President Mike Pence canceled planned campaign events in hard-hit areas as the virus surged in the U.S. South and West, halting economic reopening plans.
Pence canceled planned events to campaign for President Donald Trump’s re-election next week in Florida and Arizona out of “An abundance of caution,” campaign officials told Reuters.
Nevada on Saturday disclosed 1,099 new cases, double its previous record, while South Carolina and Georgia reported 1,604 and 1,990 new infections, respectively, also marking new daily highs.
The surge in cases has been most pronounced in a handful of Southern and Western states that reopened earlier and more aggressively, serving as a warning to the potentially illusory nature of any perceived progress in controlling the virus.
