US COVID-19 Cases Rise, COVID-Related Deaths Decrease
Summary from the AllSides News Team
New U.S. COVID-19 cases rose to an average of 23,600 per day on Monday amid the spread of the Delta variant. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the number of cases has more than doubled from the 11,300 recorded on June 23. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report Friday estimated 55.6% of Americans received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and reported that COVID-related deaths have continued to decrease 25.2% compared to the previous 7-day moving average.
Coverage from the left and center tended to focus on the rising number of cases and framed the story in the context of those who decline to get vaccinated. As of Tuesday afternoon, the story received little coverage from right-rated outlets, though it was covered by the New York Post.
