The rate of deaths is still high in Gallup, New Mexico, one of the largest communities bordering the Navajo Nation. In this McKinley County city of 22,000, there have been 41 recent deaths there, giving it one of the highest death rates per capita in the U.S.
At least 850 inmates and 11 staff members at a federal prison in Santa Barbara County, California have tested positive for the coronavirus. Cases in the county are doubling about every 10 days. nyti.ms/2zCBCA9

Most U.S. states have reopened, partially reopened or plan to open in the next week, even as new cases of the coronavirus continue to grow around the country.

Only 4 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico remain largely shut down.

Here's where each state stands. nyti.ms/3cD0QwT
In Oregon, retail stores are open. In Oklahoma, people can go out dancing at nightclubs again.

But the openings come as Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Congress this week that reopening too soon could trigger “some suffering and death that could be avoided.” nyti.ms/3cD0QwT
We're tracking when orders to stay at home are lifted in each state, as well as when broad reopenings are allowed in public spaces.

Some states have had stay-at-home orders in place since mid-March and most did for at least a month. nyti.ms/3cD0QwT

Many have praised Sweden for staying open during the coronavirus outbreak.

We looked at the data: Yes, Sweden is better off than many countries that enforced strict lockdowns. But its outbreak has been far deadlier than those of its neighbors. nyti.ms/3cB6a3N
We measured the impact of the pandemic in Sweden by comparing the number of people who have died in recent months against the average over recent years — which demographers consider the most complete picture of the toll.

Here's how Sweden compares. nyti.ms/3cB6a3N
Across Sweden, almost 30% more people died during the epidemic than is normal, an increase similar to that of the U.S. So while Sweden has avoided the devastating tolls seen in Italy, Spain and Britain, it also has seen an extraordinary increase in deaths. nyti.ms/3cB6a3N

Then a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a funeral. At least 25 were killed. nyti.ms/2WVUaTE
Afghans don’t need a reminder that no one is safe from the country’s endless war, but they got one on Tuesday. Over the course of the day, the war had most likely taken 100 lives. nyti.ms/3bB6bDG
