From April 26 to 30, a high temperature warning appeared in Arizona, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius. Residents are looking forward to a significant reduction in confirmed cases. However, judging from the absolute data, the numbers have not decreased in the past few days, but have increased. Everyone is disappointed with the claim that rising temperatures can kill the virus. The reporter also made a detailed observation and analysis of the recent data. There are several factors to consider: 1. The total number of tests has increased since the last week of April, while the ratio of the number of tests to the number of confirmed cases has declined. The proportion of confirmed cases was above 9% before last week, but now it has dropped below 9%. Yesterday it was 8.7%, and today it is 8.7%. In future data, we will publish the necessary data on the detection rate. In addition, judging from the traffic conditions this week, many people have begun to relax their vigilance and have not strictly implemented the stay-at-home order. This is another reason why there is no significant decline in confirmed data. Today, the number of new coronavirus infections surged by 403, with 18 new deaths, and the total number of people was 8,364! Arizona's stay-at-home order extended to May 15th! Persevere and consolidate many months of hard work! According to figures released by the Arizona Department of Health Services yesterday, there are 7,962 cases of COVID-19 in Arizona caused by the new coronavirus, 314 new cases, 330 known deaths, and 10 new deaths.

Currently, the number of confirmed cases in Maricopa County has exceeded 4,000. All 15 Arizona counties have confirmed cases.
