5. Iowa
Iowa is also on the list of states that aren’t doing so well right now, being classified as “critical” by the Covid Act Now. The state is seeing a daily new case rate of 25.3 cases per 100,000 residents, which is very, very dangerous.
Additionally, the positive test rate of 15.3 percent is also a good indicator that Iowa seriously needs to do something to change their current situation, because things seem to be going pretty badly in the state.
At the moment, there are 88, 234 COVID-19 cases in the state, with more than 5,735 just in the last seven days.
4. South Dakota
South Dakota is one of the states that received a lot of attention in the past few weeks, thanks to the state’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which made the number of COVID-19 cases skyrocket in the state.
South Dakota is seeing a positive test rate of 15.9 percent and a high daily new case rate of 32.4 cases per 100,000 residents. The state currently has more than 21,997 coronavirus cases, with 2,060 cases recorded in the past seven days.
3. Idaho
As data from Covid Act Now shows, Idaho is seeing a positive test rate of 16.0 percent with a current daily new case rate of 16.3 per 100,00 residents. Even though the state has seen an improvement in the last few weeks, the numbers are still quite high.
