The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 rose above 86,000 on Friday, as new outbreaks were reported in states where stay-at-home orders are set to expire and others that never imposed them.
Minnesota is due to lift lockdown measures in mid-May even as cases continue to climb. Iowa, which did not implement restrictions on movement, recorded another 386 cases on Thursday, and its infection curve is not flattening, according to a New York Times tracker. Nebraska has seen cases more than double since April 30, while major cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago are still suffering from high death tolls.
