At least six bars in north and central Florida have announced their closure amid new Covid-19 cases that peaked on Sunday, June 14th.

The state Department of Health has confirmed that there are more than 2000 new cases in the state for two consecutive days, setting a new record for the increase in the incidence rate.

The re-closure took place almost a week after the second phase of the opening in Florida, when the bars and cinemas could again accept customers with some restrictions, as provided for in the opening plan for Governor Ron DeSantis.

However, an increase in the transfer of Covid-19 in Florida has forced some businesses to close.

On Sunday, one Jacksonville beach bar was closed because some customers received positive Covid-19 test results.

“Our establishment has learned of positive COVID-19 tests among customers who visited us,” Wreck Tiki Lounge owner Fernando Meza wrote on Facebook. “We will be closed for the next few days to sanitize the bar and have our staff undergo testing.”

Another bar in the area, the Lynch Irish pub, also announced it closed this weekend after 15 people found Covid-19.

On Monday, an infected woman said that all 15 people who were friends gave a positive result after the meeting at the pub on June 6th.

According to local media, out of 49 employees at the Lynch Irish Pub, seven received positive results at Covid-19 since the institution opened on June 5. Currently, it is closed for the rehabilitation of premises.

At least six bars in Jacksonville Beach will be closed, including Tavern, The Wreck, Lynch's Irish Pub, The Wine Bar, Mellow Mushroom and Graffiti Burger.

Another bar, in Florida, Altamonte Springs, also said it would close due to a surge in Covid-19.

On Facebook, Kiwi's Pub & Grill writes: “We are sad to announce that Kiwi will be temporarily closed. Today 6 different people told us that they are infected with the coronavirus and they have been inside the pub for the past week. It may seem like the wrong decision, but we do not risk the health of our employees and our customers. "

Since March, nearly 76 Covid-000 infections have been reported in Florida.

Governor de Santis has condemned the new concerns about the coronavirus, as Donald Trump plans to hold a congress of Republicans in the state this summer.

In addition to Florida, Texas and Arizona set new infection records, writes CNN.

Oklahoma, Oregon and Nevada also joined them. CBS News.

A total of 21 states across the country are seeing an increasing trend in new cases. “We may end the pandemic, but the pandemic has not left us,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute.

Florida reported nearly 2800 new coronavirus cases on Monday, June 15, the highest number of new and confirmed cases in a single day the state has seen.

“We're going to move forward. We will continue to protect the most vulnerable,” DeSantis said.

On Tuesday, Arizona reached a record number of daily events, like Texas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott attributed this to a delay in reporting.

But the state hospitalization rate, which is controlled by a number of officials to make sure that the healthcare system is not overloaded, is also increasing.

A nationwide rediscovery coupled with neglect of personal safety measures prompted researchers at the University of Washington Metrics and Health Assessment Institute (IHME) to increase their Covid-19 mortality forecasts this summer.

How is the situation in the states?

• 21 states have an upward trend in the number of newly reported cases: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Oregon, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming.
• In 8 states, there is a constant number of newly reported cases: Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, Ohio, South Dakota, Utah and Washington.

The second wave may be, but we have not yet left the first

At first it seemed that the end of the summer was the finish line of the pandemic. And although experts no longer believe that in this case, many Americans seek to return to normal.

Murray expects the “second wave” to begin in late August, when by October 1, more than 201 deaths from coronavirus will be reported in the United States.

But the incidence of coronavirus in the United States has not yet fallen to a level low enough to curb the first wave.

According to researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania, during the spread of the virus, it moves along the highway.

People leave their homes, come to other cities. Researchers have found that the more people interact with others, the more the disease spreads.

Navajo Nation sets locks

Navajo Nation, which surpassed New York and New Jersey in terms of the highest per capita coronavirus infection rates in the United States, announced new restrictions aimed at reducing infections.

“We must continue to do what we are doing, wear protective masks, follow the restrictions, stay home and keep our distance. Now is not the time to relax,” Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said.

Navajo Nation covers parts of New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, where there is a significant increase in new cases. According to the 2020 census, the population of Native Americans was 173.

Texas mayors believe wearing masks will mitigate distribution

Nine Texas mayors, including senior officials in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, have called on the state governor to make face masks mandatory to stop the spread of the virus in their cities.

New research confirms the need to use masks to reduce spread.

Researchers estimate that between 230 and 000 cases of virus infection were prevented in states where masks were set between April 450 and May 000.

“The findings suggest that requiring face coverings in public settings may help mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” wrote Wei Liu and George Wehby of the Department of Health Management and Policy at the University of Iowa College of Public Health.

In addition, hoping to mitigate the spread, the non-profit organization Resolve to Save Lives, led by former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden, released a new contact tracing book on Tuesday.

The guide will complement CDC's efforts to provide local public health departments with detailed guidance on how they can prevent the virus from spreading further.
