Some U.S. states see new covid cases increase.
Across the United States, officials have dropped mask mandates and are closing mass vaccine and testing sites as new coronavirus cases have fallen nationally to about 27,000 a day on average. But several states — mostly in the Northeast — have had some increases in case numbers over the past two weeks, according to a New York Times database
Though their average number of new cases remains much lower than during the winter Omicron surge, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York have seen cases jump more than 40 percent over the latest 14-day period as of Saturday, according to the Times database.
Some other states have also had slight upticks in new cases over the past two weeks, including Delaware (17 percent), Florida (25 percent), Illinois (13 percent), New Hampshire (19 percent) and Wisconsin (11 percent), the Times database shows.
