“There is a new wave coming in parts of the country,” Eric Toner, a senior scholar for Health Security, said Wednesday, as quoted by Bloomberg. “It\u2019s small and it\u2019s distant so far, but it\u2019s coming.” (File Photo by CDC\/Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ANKARA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A second wave of coronavirus cases is emerging in the US, an expert of Maryland-based Johns Hopkins University warned amid nationwide Black Lives Matter protests and state reopenings.<\/p>\n

“There is a new wave coming in parts of the country,” Eric Toner, a senior scholar for Health Security, said Wednesday, as quoted by Bloomberg. “It\u2019s small and it\u2019s distant so far, but it\u2019s coming.”<\/p>\n

Toner said the rising infections outpace rise in testing in some states and it is raising concerns whether the outbreak can be controlled.<\/p>\n

It will take a couple of weeks to know the exact situation, the expert said, adding that by then it is going to be “pretty late” to respond.<\/p>\n

The US, the worst-hit country by coronavirus, has passed the 2 million mark of cases as of Thursday, according to a running tally of Johns Hopkins. It has nearly 113,000 fatalities and over 533,500 recoveries.<\/p>\n

As of May 20, each state that had imposed a stay-at-home order or shelter had begun lifting restrictions on businesses and public spaces.<\/p>\n

Recently, a peak in coronavirus cases has been seen in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Texas on Wednesday reported the highest single-day tally of infections during the outbreak with 2,504 cases.<\/p>\n

Florida recorded 8,553 cases this week as completing the first month of reopening, which is the most of any seven days.<\/p>\n

In California, hospitalizations severely increased since May 13.<\/p>\n

Another expert from the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Perelman School of Medicine said that a second wave is building in Arizona, Texas, Florida, and California.<\/p>\n

Arizona “sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of a major problem,” according to Jeffrey Morris, director of the division of biostatistics.\u00a0(Anadolu)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
