U.S. weekly death toll falls
Deaths from COVID-19 fell last week after four weeks of increases, according to a Reuters tally of state and county reports. About 7,200 people died last week, 26% below the previous week.
And new cases have now fallen for three straight weeks, though the United States still accounts for a quarter of the global total of 20 million cases.
Last week's decline in new cases came largely from recent hot spots. For instance, new cases in Arizona fell by more than 48% in the last week, and on Aug. 9 the state reported fewer than 1,000 cases for the first time since June 29.
