Nine states set new highs last week for coronavirus infections recorded in a single day, per the COVID Tracking Project and state health departments. Five states surpassed records set the previous week.
Why it matters: This is the lowest number of states to see dramatic single-day increases since Axios began tracking weekly highs in late June.
