Only 2% of population now in “high” Covid area

(KYMA, KECY/ CNN) - The CDC says just two percent of the U.S. population now live in a county with a “high” Covid-19 community level.

That's roughly seven million people, which is 6 million fewer than last week.

According to CDC, almost 73% of the population now live in a county considered to have a “low” community level.

The other 21% live in counties with a “medium” community level.

Currently, the CDC lists Imperial County in the "low" level, but Yuma County is still in the "high" level.

As far as the overall global impact of the virus, a new study also suggests that the death toll may be three times higher than reported Covid-19 deaths indicate.
