U.S. states on Saturday reported 215,000 new cases of coronavirus and at least 3,695 deaths, according to a leading data index.
While the number of cases in the Middle East continues to decline, deaths reported are still more than tripling in October, the Covid Tracking Project reported.
Deaths are 50 percent higher than the worst of the northern fountain in the region, he added.
CTP said the admissions rates for new cases and hospitals are at a very high absolute level, but both measures have ‘flattened out’ in all regions.
On Saturday, California announced 40,622 new cases and another 669 deaths.
Texas recorded 20,530 and 381 deaths, while the state of New York detected 19,469 new cases and 206 deaths.
With more than 2 million tests taken on Saturday, the seven-day test average is at a record high, CTP said.
The CTP said the data would be interrupted in the coming week due to the Martin Luther King holiday Monday and the presidential inauguration Wednesday.

“Some states have already reported delays in the future,” CTP said at the weekend.
Last week, the CTP demanded that the US government release more data to give a clearer picture of the pandemic.
“Demographics from many states are surprisingly incomplete,” Erin Kissane, co-founder of CTP, and Alice Goldfarb, who is the leader of the CTP Racial Data Tracker, wrote in The Atlantic.
“Even widely collected information, such as the age of patients at the time of diagnosis or death, is presented so inconsistently that it was impossible to put it together in a clear national picture,” they added.
The project also asked for more detailed vaccination data.
“The [US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] “publishes data on the distribution of vaccines and the first doses administered – which is a good starting point – but it has not yet released any demographic data,” she said. Kissane and me. Goldfarb written.
