Coronavirus Infection Rates Vary by US State

A majority of the USA remains susceptible to a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told lawmakers on September 23, 2020. The infection rate ranges up to 20% of the population in some US states, and less than 1% in others, the director said, according to CNBC.

Dr. Robert Redfield stated on Twitter 'the CDC recommends that you wear masks in public settings around people who don’t live in your household and when you can’t stay 6 feet away from others. Masks help stop the spread of COVID-19 to others,' says Dr. Redfield.
