Over the past week, 48 states saw an increase in Covid-19 cases, with 30 reporting a more than 50% increase, data from Johns Hopkins University shows. The Covid-19 case rate has soared by 300% since July 4, according to health officials. In North Carolina, three out-of-state campers at Camp Daniel Boone Scout Camp in Haywood County tested positive for Covid-19, local health officials said. The camp had been following its "COVID-19 Mitigation Plan," which was approved by county health officials, the statement said. State law prohibits the Utah County Health Department from requiring camps to follow any coronavirus rules or procedures, according to Tolman-Hill.
