Even at 43,000 new cases per day, the US remains far above the numbers seen during the spring, when new daily cases peaked at about 34,000, he said. “But if we relax that, if we get complacent, will we just see another outbreak?”The decline in newly reported cases in the US comes even as deaths from the virus remain alarmingly high. In Arizona, for example, officials reported 859 new cases Tuesday, down from a peak of 5,500 in late June. More than 2,000 people arrived at the state’s hospitals showing symptoms of the virus on a single day in early July. In Florida, where more than 10,000 people have died, the state reported 2,600 new virus cases Tuesday.
