COVID-19 cases are surging in several U.S. states

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new closures this week for wineries, indoor restaurants, movie theaters, gyms, churches, and salons in another effort to contain the virus.

The state has recorded more than 334,000 cases. Deaths have topped 7,000. Hospitalizations have risen 28% in the past two weeks.

Florida has the second highest number of infections in the U.S. behind Texas after recording 132 additional deaths, a 10% increase from the previous record set last week.

Educators are in the middle of a political debate on how best to reopen classes in the fall as infections spike around the country. Many schools and universities will only offer online courses.
