US Sets New Covid Case Record For Third Straight Day by Randellen: 2:02am On Dec 07, 2020 |
For the third day in a row, the US on Saturday notched a record number of coronavirus cases in 24 hours, reaching nearly 230,00 new infections, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. In that same stretch, the US recorded 2,527 Covid-related deaths, according to real-time data provided by the Baltimore-based university at 1.30am GMT on Saturday. The US – the country with the most coronavirus cases and deaths in the world – has seen a dramatic resurgence in its epidemic in recent weeks. US health officials warned of a surge after millions of Americans travelled to celebrate last week’s Thanksgiving holiday despite pleas from authorities to stay home. For two weeks, the US has regularly topped 2,000 deaths per day, as it had in the spring at the height of the first wave of the country’s outbreak. The number of people hospitalised with Covid-19 is also steadily increasing, especially in the most populous states of California, Florida, New York and Texas, according to the Covid Tracking Project. The US has recorded more than 14.6 million Covid cases and more than 281,000 related deaths since the start of the pandemic. |
