New COVID-19 cases and deaths saw double-digit increases in the past week in the U.S.

Newly confirmed infections per day are rising in 47 states. Is that dramatic rise in the U.S. COVID-19 cases because of increased testing?

"I think there is a real increase in the cases that we're seeing. I think it has to do with people spending more time together, with restaurants opening and things like that. Because if you look at the test results as a percentage of those being tested it's still going up," says Dr. Dwayne Breining, the executive director of Northwell Health Labs.
