  • In the state of California, the number of new cases fell significantly throughout the month and ended at a level only half that of the start of the month. Likewise, deaths fell throughout the month and also ended up at half the value they had at the start.
  • The U.S. followed a similar trend with new cases dropping throughout the month to only half of what they were at the start.
