Even after more than 300,000 patients, the rate of increase in Corona19 patients in the United States has not decreased.

The number of confirmed patients exceeds 330,000, and the number of deaths is close to 10,000.

US health officials have warned that the worst week ahead has begun.


[Jerome Adams / Director of Public Health Services, USA: This week will be the most difficult and sadst week for most Americans. It will be a moment like 'Pearl of the Pearl' or '9/11 terrorism'.]

They also predicted that the situation would be similar across the country, not limited to a specific region.

In particular, the United States urged them to be prepared for the virus, saying it has yet to control the virus.

Some analysts say that the situation in the United States has worsened so far because the initial response was too late.

The New York Times reported that about 430,000 people have entered the United States from China since the outbreak of corona19 was announced in Wuhan, China at the end of last year.

The New York Times pointed out that the Trump administration's ban on entry into China could have been too late, especially given that as many as 25% of those infected were asymptomatic.
