Cases dropped 25% in March but spiked in some states, especially Michigan.
There were 1.8 million coronavirus cases reported in March, the lowest monthly total since the 1.9 million cases recorded in October 2020. Thirty states showed a month-to-month case decline, led by Arkansas and Kansas, where cases dropped 71% and 68% since February respectively.
But in Michigan, cases nearly tripled from 35,000 in February to 101,000 in March. Three other states — Rhode Island, Minnesota, and North Dakota — had more than a 50% increase in cases.
