Those figures were collected from state health departments and, where necessary, estimated based on hospital admissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actual case numbers are higher because many hospitals and states are no longer reporting detailed COVID data. Laboratory testing is also low as most people and doctors are using at-home tests which are not included in official statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;COVID-19 activity remains elevated nationally, but there are continued signs of decline in many areas,&#8221; the CDC said in an update on Friday. &#8220;COVID-19 test positivity, emergency department visits, and rates of COVID-19\u2013associated hospitalizations remain elevated, particularly among adults 65+ and children under 2 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the past week, cases increased in only 10 out of 28 states with consistent but limited data. Notable increases include Minnesota (+97%), Maine (+85%), Arizona (+45%) and North Dakota (+36%). Cases were also up in New York (+7%) and New Jersey (+10%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CDC estimates that COVID cases are currently&nbsp;<strong>rising in 3 states<\/strong>&nbsp;(down from 7 last week), declining or likely declining in 31 states (up from 16), and stable or uncertain in 13 states (down from 25). Nationally,&nbsp;<strong>COVID test positivity is 14.9%<\/strong>, down from 16.3% last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 33% of hospitals in the U.S. submitted COVID data this week, which is similar to last week but down from 91% in early May. Those limited figures reveal that at least 5,299 Americans are currently hospitalized with COVID, slightly up from 5,296 last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1,232 new COVID deaths<\/strong>&nbsp;were reported during the week, the fifth week in a row with more than 1,000 new deaths. It\u2019s also the 10th week in a row with more than 500 new deaths and the 235th week with more than 400 new deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far this year, nearly 5.3 million COVID cases have been reported across the U.S., causing at least 362,954 hospitalizations (limited data) and 41,350 deaths, according to BNO\u2019s COVID data tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/tag\/weekly-u-s-covid-update\/\">LINK: Click here to read all weekly updates<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Help us continue our work: BNO News is one of the last teams collecting crucial COVID data across the U.S. Help us continue our work by making a contribution on&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/bnonews\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/buymeacoffee.com\/bnonews\" target=\"_blank\">BuyMeACoffee<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BNONews\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/BNONews\" target=\"_blank\">Ko-Fi<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID summer wave in the U.S. continues to ease with another drop in new cases, even though the weekly death toll remained above 1,000 for the fifth week in a row, according to figures collected by BNO News.
