New COVID-19 cases surge 12 percent in past week, fourth wave looms


New coronavirus cases in the United States have surged by double digits over the last seven days, as the country prepares for another potentially deadly wave of infections and hospitalizations in the coming weeks.

The latest seven-day average of new cases ballooned to 63,000 for the first time in weeks, according to data compiled by The Washington Post, driven mainly by spiking rates in states like Michigan, Vermont and North Dakota.

On Monday the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an impassioned plea to Americans to not let their guards down as federal and state officials work to vaccinate as many Americans as possible and as quickly as possible with the warmer months approaching.

"I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared," Director Rochelle Walensky said while fighting back tears during a briefing with reporters. "We do not have the luxury of inaction."

The CDC reported this week hospitalizations have also spiked the past week. The most recent seven-day average was about 4,800 admissions a day, an increase from 4,600 admissions per day in the prior seven days.
