January 4th local time, data recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that Arizona currently has an average of more than 121 people diagnosed with COVID-19 per 100,000 people every day, which is the only state in the United States with more than 100 people with this figure.
At present, the state has surpassed California to become the state with the highest rate of COVID-19 infection in the United States.
It is reported that Arizona is one of the few states in the United States that refuse to take strict measures to control the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The state has not imposed a mask mandate and largely lacks any measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as indoor dining restrictions, bar gathering restrictions.
Local media believe that the spread of the coronavirus in Arizona may be due to the state’s refusal to issue relevant executive orders to take corresponding epidemic prevention measures.
