The United States surpassed 11 million reported cases of the coronavirus Sunday, after hitting 10 million just one week earlier.

This is the fastest surge of COVID-19 cases to date, as the U.S. continues to report over 100,000 new cases of the virus each day.

The daily average of new cases is up by 80% from two weeks ago, according to the Center for Disease Control’s COVID data tracker.

The WCHD said the virus is so rampant in the county that residence should assume every public place you are in has a risk of exposure.

Fortunately, on the UW Oshkosh campus, cases continue to trend low. As of Monday, the positivity rate is 2.6% with 107 active cases.
