March 25, 2021, New York City, New York City, USA: New coronavirus cases have jumped by 64% in New York with 67,963 new cases reported compared to 41,406 a week earlier. The surge ranked New York first among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest. The spring weather brought huge numbers of people back to the streets like here in Times Square. The U.S. added 442,676 cases of coronavirus over the past week, an increase of 16% from the week before. Otherwise, New York is far from the leader in administrating vaccines. It ranked 21st among states in share of people receiving at least one shot, with nearly 30% of its residents at least partially vaccinated. Still, New York is better than the national vaccine rate, which is about 28% (Credit Image: © Marie Le Ble/ZUMA Wire)
