But the number of daily cases has now far surpassed what was thought to be the pandemic's peak, in April. Eight US states - Alaska, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas - hit record-highs for new coronavirus cases on Tuesday. New daily infections there - as sell as in Florida, Louisiana, Idaho and Washington state - have more than doubled in the past week. The state's cases increased 29 percent in the last week after reporting several record daily increases in cases.
