Friday Feedback: Should construction be halted in areas showing a rise in COVID-19 cases? | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC
New coronavirus infections hit record highs in six states this week, marking a wave of new cases even as most states are moving forward with reopening their economies.
Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas all reported record increases in new cases after recording all-time highs the week before, according to CNBC. Hospitalizations are also rising or at record highs.
