Hospitalization data may not yet be available for yesterday. The number of average tests is for the most recent day for which all states have reported data. 14-day change is hidden if not enough data is available to make a comparison. Figures shown are the most recent data available.Cases by region

Update for Aug. 17
- New cases are emerging at their highest rates since winter as the Delta variant sweeps across the country and Americans come to terms with the fact that Covid is not going away any time soon.
- Every state has had its progress derailed by Delta, but the effects have been especially severe in the South. Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi have shattered past known case records and seen hospitals overwhelmed.
- Hospitalizations nationwide now exceed every previous peak except last winter’s. More than 700 deaths are being reported each day, on average, a figure that has more than doubled since the start of August. Deaths have so far remained far below past records, but can lag case data by weeks.
- The pace of vaccination has increased only slightly, to about 700,000 doses a day, even as the daily case rate has soared. About 51 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated. Vaccines provide protection from the Delta variant, especially against severe disease and death.
- Some of the areas hit hardest early in the summer have started to see case numbers level off or even fall. The outlook is improving in the Ozarks of Missouri and Arkansas, in the Las Vegas area and around Jacksonville, Fla.
- Rural areas in the Pacific Northwest have seen especially sharp rises in cases. Oregon recently set a weekly case record and reimposed an indoor mask mandate.
- Cases are rising in the Upper Midwest and Northeast, but remain far lower than the figures seen in other regions. On a per capita basis, the counties that include Miami and Tampa, Fla., are averaging more than six times as many cases each day as the counties that include Chicago and Detroit.

About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (tests, hospitalizations). The seven-day average is the average of a day and the previous six days of data. Currently hospitalized is the most recent number of patients with Covid-19 reported by hospitals in the state for the four days prior. Dips and spikes could be due to inconsistent reporting by hospitals. Hospitalization numbers early in the pandemic are undercounts due to incomplete reporting by hospitals to the federal government. Tests represent the number of individual P.C.R. viral test specimens tested by laboratories and state health departments and reported to the federal government by the 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.County trends

About this data
Sources: State and local health agencies (cases, deaths); U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (hospitalizations); Centers for Disease Control and state governments (vaccinations). The daily average is calculated with data that was reported in the last seven days. Counties with fewer than 10,000 residents are not shown. Hospitalized figures for each county shows the average number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized per 100,000 residents within any hospital service areas that intersect with the county, or in some cases, within any hospital referral regions that intersect with the county. Vaccination data is not available for some counties. All-time charts show data from Jan. 21, 2020 to present.Outbreak clusters

Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.
Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible.
