Yep, and it is not just cases but deaths, which means that it is not simply a result of more testing.
It's not just the result of more testing, but more testing is one cause of the increase in reported cases. Actual cases increased as well, as you point out, but not nearly as much as the reported cases would suggest.
The % increase in daily deaths was actually even larger than the % increase in cases.
