New coronavirus map shows more than half of all states are 'trending poorly' or have 'uncontrolled spread'
A new map highlighting the spread of the coronavirus shows more than half of all states "trending poorly" or facing an "uncontrolled spread" as COVID-19 continues to make a resurgence in the United States.

Created by covidexitstrategy.org, the map tracks each state's coronavirus response based on a set of criteria provided by the White House that specifies what each state and region must accomplish before moving forward with plans to reopening their economies. The map measures and scores each state based on the number of positive cases over a 14-day period using a 7-day rolling average, bed capacity at hospitals and intensive care units and positivity rates.

According to the figure, New York, once the epicenter of the virus, is trending for the better while nearly all Southern and some Midwestern states are faring far worse. California is listed with an "uncontrolled spread" with 219 cases per every million people.

Texas, Florida and Georgia are also seeing giant upticks in COVID-19 cases. Click here for more on our top story.
