On Wednesday, June 24, the number of new cases exceeded the previous maximum levels since April 26 (the beginning of the first peak of the pandemic in the United States) by more than 9 cases. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that on Sunday, June 000, a one-day anti-record was broken in the number of coronavirus infected in the world - 21 thousand new cases.

Health experts said the increase in the number of cases in the southern and western states can be traced back to Memorial Day, when state authorities began to weaken quarantine and reopen businesses.

The northeastern states reported a significant decrease in the number of cases of infection when the authorities adhered to a policy of social distance and wearing masks.

People visiting US hotspots and arriving in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will be offered a two-week quarantine. This was announced on Wednesday, June 24, the governors of these states.

Unfortunately, due to premature weakening of quarantine, many hospitals become overloaded with patients.

“Californians have been so good at social issues that they have been leaders in the fight across the country,” Fauci said. “This is an issue that really has to do with social responsibility.”

Despite this, California visited its daily counter-record of new diseases on Wednesday, June 24. An additional 7 reported cases brought the total number of confirmed cases to 149.

On Wednesday, Governor Gavin Newsome called on Californians to continue wearing masks.
