破600万!美多州新冠病例激增,大学暴发严重疫情(2)

“We have had reports of several large parties of our students at Oneonta last week, and unfortunately because of those larger gatherings, there were several students who were symptomatic of COVID,” Malatras said。

Across the Midwest, infections have also risen after an annual motorcycle rally at Sturgis in South Dakota。 It drew more than 365,000 people from across the country from August 7 to 16。 The South Dakota health department said 88 cases were linked to the rally。

More than eight months into the pandemic, the U.S。 continues to struggle with testing。 The number of people getting tested for the virus has fallen in recent weeks。

Many health officials and at least 33 states have rejected the new COVID-19 testing guidance issued by the Trump administration last week that said those exposed to the virus and without symptoms may not need testing。

Public health officials believe the U.S。 needs to test more frequently to find asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers to slow the spread of the disease。

Meanwhile, the U.S。 and Britain have handled the coronavirus pandemic poorly, according to a survey released on August 27。

Only 46 percent of Britons and 47 percent of Americans think their government has coped well with the coronavirus pandemic, far lower than Denmark with 95 percent。 They‘re the only two countries where a minority of people said the government had done well。

While the United States has the most recorded infections in the world, it ranks tenth based on cases per capita, with Brazil, Peru and Chile having higher rates of infection, according to a Reuters tally。

The United States also has the most deaths globally at nearly 183,000 and ranks 11th for deaths per capita, exceeded by Sweden, Brazil, Italy, Chile, Spain, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Peru。
