Here is the latest knowledge of the OHA, until Tuesday, July 21.
Federal knowledge recommends that actual infection rates with the new coronavirus be up to 10 times higher than the number of cases reported nationwide from March to early May.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention review highlights how the actual number of COVID-19 cases in the United States is underrepresented. Researchers relied on antibody tests on regimen blood samples from 16,000 other people in 10 regions of the United States.
Many of the infections detected in the study are probably other people with COVID-19 who had no symptoms or mild symptoms and who have never been tested for the virus. Infection rates were six times higher than the reported cases in Connecticut and 24 times higher in Missouri.
More than 300,000 immigrants would probably not be citizens in time to vote after the federal firm guilty of processing naturalization programs suspended face-to-face interviews and swear-on ceremonies this spring amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Alex Beric, a 44-year-old English immigrant, applied for naturalization in May 2019. “That would be disappointing,” said Beric, who came to the United States in 2004.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration, the firm that processes immigration benefits, informed Beric in early March that her face-to-face naturalization interview scheduled for April 21. Soon after, Beric stated that he had gained another notification that his naturalization would be postponed. because of the pandemic. More than 3 months later, Beric is still waiting.
