Dr. Jeff Barke, who is treating COVID-19 patients in Southern California, says there are two reasons that cases are spiking at the moment, and they both were anticipated.
California is among the states seeing the steepest increases in confirmed coronavirus cases, with nearly 10,000 new cases reported on Tuesday, a one-day high mark since tracking began in the spring.
Texas, the nation's second-most-populous state, is seeing similar numbers, with over 10,000 new cases reported Thursday.
Another factor contributing to the spike in cases were large-scale protests following the death of George Floyd.
Fox News reported officials in Los Angeles, Seattle and Florida's Miami-Dade County have confirmed the protests may have contributed to the spike in cases in their localities.
The Hill reported June 20 that young people were driving the latest spike in COVID-19 cases.
The majority of new cases in Texas were people under 30 years old, according to Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott.
