Aug. 20 (UPI) -- For the fifth day in a row, new COVID-19 cases in the United States are under 50,000 -- a streak that hasn't been seen since before a dramatic spike in cases began in early July.
New data Thursday from Johns Hopkins University showed 46,400 new cases on Wednesday, a slight increase over the day before. Nationally, there have been fewer than 50,000 new cases in nine of the last 11 days, continuing a gradual decline since a single-day spike of 77,000 in mid-July.
Deaths increased, but unsurprising with the number new infections in the past.
