Despite the fact that new COVID-19 infections in some US states are plateauing, the country still has a long way to go to contain the pandemic, according to experts.
Documented cases of COVID-19 have been slowly plateauing in the last two weeks in Arizona, Florida and Texas, according to data from the states’ public health departments. “We’re still in the first wave, and we’re the highest that we’ve been since the beginning. I don’t think we are going down the back side yet,” Scott Lindquist, Washington state’s chief epidemiologist for communicable diseases, told The Hill.
