State of the virus
Update for April 22
- Coronavirus cases are rising again in the United States after a precipitous fall from their January peak.
- Cases have increased in a majority of states and territories during the past two weeks, but the inclines are sharpest in the Northeast and Midwest. In Michigan and New Hampshire, cases have more than doubled since the start of the month.
- Experts believe that two new subvariants may be contributing to this growth. Both evolved from the BA.2 subvariant, a strain known to be highly contagious.
- The average number of reported cases announced per day in the U.S. remains at its lowest level since the summer of 2021. Still, the prevalence of home tests, which often go unreported in official tallies, suggests that the current volume of cases is likely an undercount.
- Hospitalizations also remain low. On average, around 15,000 people are in American hospitals with the coronavirus each day — a figure comparable only to the earliest weeks of the pandemic.
- Deaths in the pandemic, which are expected to reach 1 million in the United States in the coming weeks, continue to decline. Fewer than 400 coronavirus deaths are currently being reported each day, a decrease of more than 30 percent in the past two weeks.

How cases, hospitalizations and deaths are trending
Each chart shows how these three metrics compare to the corresponding peak level reached nationwide before Omicron became the dominant variant. For example, a state’s case line exceeds 100 percent on the chart when its number of cases per capita exceeds the highest number of U.S. cases per capita reached in January 2021.

About this data
Rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that people who are unvaccinated are at a much greater risk than those who are fully vaccinated to die from Covid-19. These charts compare age-adjusted average daily case and death rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the states and cities that provide this data.

About the data
The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.
More about reporting anomalies or changes
Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.
Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
The map key in an earlier version of this article was mislabeled. The key showed the average number of new cases in each county per capita per day, not the total number of cases per capita in the previous seven days.
Our Coverage of the Coronavirus Pandemic
In the United States
Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive for the coronavirus. She has not had recent contact with President Biden, her office said.
More than half of Americans have been infected with the coronavirus at least once, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Around the World
Faced with a growing number of Covid infections, Beijing has started to test most of its 22 million residents in the hope of avoiding a lockdown like in Shanghai.
It is clear that the world will fall far short of the World Health Organization’s goal to vaccinate 70 percent of people in every nation. Some experts believe the momentum is gone forever.
Long Covid
A growing number of studies have indicated that Covid vaccines may protect against long-term symptoms, but there’s still no definitive answer.
Long Covid can cause hidden damage to many parts of the body. These images and graphics explain how.
Health Guidance
Masks: Does a mask protect you against Covid if others aren’t wearing one? This is what the evidence shows.
Second Boosters: Should you get a fourth Covid shot? Older individuals and those with some health conditions may benefit from it.
At Home: When someone in your house tests positive for Covid, there are some guidelines to follow.
Antiviral Pills: The new drugs can prove effective in treating Covid. Here are the answers to some common questions about them.
