The U.S. has reported fewer than 30,000 cases for five straight days, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, bringing the seven-day average of daily new infections to about 30,300.
It’s the first time daily case counts have remained below the 30,000 mark for five consecutive days since mid-June 2020.
Around 1.8 million vaccinations have been reported on average each day over the past week, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, and 48% of the population has received at least one vaccine dose.
Hopkins data shows that nationwide case counts have been on a mostly downward trend since the latest high point about a month ago in mid-April, when the country was seeing more than 71,000 cases per day.
