CLEVELAND, Ohio. –As the United States prepares for its second spike in the coronavirus outbreak with June 24 recording the most confirmed cases ever in a single day nationwide at more than 42,000, the predominantly Black city of Cleveland is reporting 75 new coronavirus cases on Sunday, the highest single day number of cases since the outbreak of the pandemic in early March.

As some experts predicted, Cleveland's coronavirus cases, like cases in so many other major urban cities nationwide, peaked in May, declined in mid June, and have re peaked as the July 4 holiday nears.

Including the 75 new cases reported Sunday, Cleveland now has 2,245 confirmed coronavirus cases.

Led by four-term Black mayor Frank Jackson, the city is roughly 60 percent Black and has a population of some 385,000 people, Ohio's second largest city behind Columbus where the population nearly triples that of Cleveland

Late last month the mayor extended his proclamation of a civil emergency to June 30, with no notice of whether he will extend it further in the midst of this second spike in confirmed cases in Cleveland, and worldwide.

Jackson said the civil emergency declaration paves the way for Cleveland to begin doing more comprehensive analogies of the deadly virus and its impact on the Cleveland community.

To date there are roughly 10.2 million confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide since the outbreak of the pandemic, and some 503,000 deaths, 2.6 million of those confirmed cases in the U.S. alone, which has reported more than 128,000 deaths.

Ohio has reported some 46,000 confirmed cases to date, and 2,700 deaths while Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, has some 6,571 confirmed cases and 351 deaths.

Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, and Georgia have the most new cases respectively over a five day period since last week with Florida reporting some 23,000 cases, and Georgia, about 6,500 new cases in under five days.
