Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase, especially in communities with lower vaccination coverage, it added.
‘Rise in 50 new Covid cases per 100,000 people in a week is called substantial transmission and high transmission is rise in more than 100 cases per 100,000 people over the last week.’
The current seven-day moving average of daily new cases (89,977) increased 33.7 percent compared with the previous seven-day moving average (67,274).
The current seven-day average of new hospital admissions for July 28-August 3 was 7,707, 40.0 percent increase from the prior seven-day average.
The current seven-day moving average of new deaths (377) increased 34.8 percent compared with the previous seven-day moving average (280).
Substantial transmission means at least 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days, while high transmission is more than 100 cases per 100,000 people over the last week, according to CDC’S four-tiered system that measures the level of community transmission.
