You need to dig into the charts further down to see the actual weekly numbers - most of the "new cases" are older ones being backfilled into the total.
For this week, the new cases for the past week are only 1936, and the deaths are only 7!

HOWEVER, the numbers are being revised weekly - last week was only showing 8 deaths between 3/20-27 - now the chart is showing 40. So the numbers will go up as more reporting comes in the coming weeks.
EDIT: Here is the chart of the weekly cases.
