San Antonio officials urged residents to stay home as the city recorded its highest number of cases in a single day. “This action is reserved only for emergencies, and we have clearly reached emergency status,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in a press release. “We need every person in San Antonio and Bexar County to take this crisis seriously and behave accordingly to slow the exponential growth of the virus.”
Georgia also reported a record high in cases at almost 2000. The 7-day average for cases has nearly tripled since late May. Hospitalizations have also gone right back up after falling from May into June. In total across the United States, around 43,000 new cases today were reported on Saturday which comes close to the record. These numbers are a result of increased testing capturing the rapid spread of the virus across a large swath of the country.
