The United States is averaging more than 100,000 new COVID-19 cases daily for the first time since February.
The last time the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases surpassed 100,000 was on February 11, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The current surge, driven by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant, was largely among the country's unvaccinated population.
