Canada[edit]

The virus was confirmed to have reached Canada on January 25, 2020, after an individual who had returned to Toronto from Wuhan, Hubei, China, tested positive. The first case of community transmission in Canada was confirmed in British Columbia on March 5.[95] In March 2020, as cases of community transmission were confirmed, all of Canada's provinces and territories declared states of emergency. Provinces and territories have, to varying degrees, implemented school and daycare closures, prohibitions on gatherings, closures of non-essential businesses and restrictions on entry. Canada severely restricted its border access, barring travellers from all countries with some exceptions. The federal Minister of Health invoked the Quarantine Act, introduced following the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak.[96] For the first time in its legislative history, the act has been used, legally requiring all travellers (excluding essential workers) returning to the country to self-isolate for 14 days, until rules were changed to accommodate fully vaccinated travellers.

Near the end of summer 2021, cases began to surge across Canada, notably in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and Ontario, particularly amongst the unvaccinated population. During this fourth wave of the virus, return to pandemic restrictions such as mask mandates were reinstated in provinces like British Columbia and Alberta.[97] The surge in cases was largely deemed to be a "pandemic of the unvaccinated"[98] and resulted in the introduction of vaccine passports, for all provinces and two of the territories.[99][100] Federally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau instated requirements for vaccination in order to partake in air travel, as well as those who ride Via Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains as of October 30, 2021. Additionally, the mandate included any federally regulated workers.[101][102] In January 2022, all of Canada's provinces and territories were experiencing record-level case numbers, primarily driven by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which caused provincial and territorial governments to reintroduce restrictions surrounding travel and isolation. However, in mid-February active caseloads and hospitalizations began to decrease and towards the end of February 2022, almost all provinces and territories had announced plans to lift restrictions by early March or mid-March 2022, if epidemiology remained favorable.[103]

COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people by state, as of March 12

On 20 January, the United States confirmed its first case, of a 35-year-old man who had returned on 15 January to the state of Washington after visiting family in Wuhan, China. The man sought clinical assistance on 19 January.[180]

On 27 February, the CDC reported a case in California which may be the first instance of community transmission in the US.[181]

On 29 February, officials of Washington State confirmed the first reported death from COVID-19 in the US.[182]

By 11 March, the U.S. had tested fewer than 10,000 people.[183] By the end of the month, over 1,000,000 people had been tested.[184] However, health experts stated that this level of testing was still inadequate.[185]

On 26 March, the United States surpassed China and Italy as the country with the most confirmed COVID-19 cases, with a figure above 82,000.[186][187] The U.S. federal government's health inspectors surveyed 323 hospitals in late March; reporting "severe shortages" of test supplies, "widespread shortages" of personal protective equipment (PPE), and other strained resources due to extended patient stays while awaiting test results.[188]

On 11 April, the United States surpassed Italy as the country with the most confirmed COVID-19 deaths, with a total of over 20,000.[189] The U.S. also became the first to record 2,000 deaths in a single day.[190] Wyoming became the 50th state to be issued a disaster declaration.[191]

By 20 April, the federal government stated it was conducting 150,000 tests per day, and claimed that this number would be enough to allow for schools and businesses to reopen. Health experts estimate that 500,000 to 1,000,000 tests per day would be needed to properly track the spread of the COVID-19, to avoid a new wave of infections.[192]

On 1 October it was announced first that Hope Hicks had tested positive, and a few hours later it was announced that both President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania had tested positive for COVID-19, who were all part of the broader White House COVID-19 outbreak.[193][194] Both Trumps recovered from the disease.

On 9 November, the U.S. surpassed 10 million COVID-19 cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins.[195]

On 11 December, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized for the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.[196] Following the issuing, it was estimated that 20,000,000 could be vaccinated over the course of a few weeks.[197]

As of 17 February 2021, the U.S. has recorded more than 27 million cases of COVID-19; 483,000 have died.[198]

Alaska[edit]

The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached the U.S. state of Alaska on 12 March 2020.[199]

California[edit]

Florida[edit]

New Jersey[edit]

New York[edit]

Ohio[edit]

The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached the U.S. state of Ohio on 9 March 2020, when the state's first cases were reported. The first death from COVID-19 in Ohio was reported on 19 March. Subsequently, records supported by further testing showed that undetected cases had existed in Ohio since early January, with the first confirmed death on 17 March. By 23 April, Ohio had 656 confirmed deaths; by 1 May, there were 1002 confirmed deaths. Accurate data was difficult to obtain due to limited test availability. By 12 December, a total of 553,461 cases had been reported leading to 31,803 hospitalizations and 7,477 deaths.

Texas[edit]

Washington State[edit]

The first confirmed case relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States was announced by the state of Washington on 21 January 2020. Washington made the first announcement of a death from the disease in the U.S. on 29 February and later announced that two deaths there on 26 February were also due to COVID-19. Until mid-March, Washington had the highest absolute number of confirmed cases and the highest number per capita of any state in the country, until it was surpassed by New York state on 10 April 2020. Many of the deceased were residents of a nursing home in Kirkland, an Eastside suburb of Seattle in King County.
