The United States has not seen back-to-back days with over 1,000 lives lost since June 5-6. Weeks after cases began to surge, 23 states are now seeing fatalities also rise, according to a Reuters analysis of deaths for the past two weeks compared with the prior two weeks.

While deaths are rising in the US for a second week in a row, they remain well below levels seen in April, when on average 2,000 people a day died from the virus.
