Health experts at Washington University predicted that as many as 300,000 Americans could die of Covid-19 by December 1, and European and African countries are still reporting increasing numbers of disease.

The number of deaths in the United States due to Covid-19 is more than 159,000, which is the largest outcome in the world, and the number of known injuries is about 4.9 million.

The United States has counted more than two thousand deaths from the emerging coronavirus during the past 24 hours, in a daily toll that had not been recorded for three months, according to a statistic by Johns Hopkins University on Thursday.

The institute said that injuries were declining in previous outbreak centers such as Arizona, California, Florida and Texas, and were increasing in other areas such as Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Virginia. This is in line with Reuters statistics.

Meanwhile, the United States announced on Thursday to suspend its recommendation that calls on citizens to avoid traveling abroad, and the State Department said in a statement that it will take its decisions from now based on the situation in each country separately, noting an improvement in the health status in some of them.

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump seeks to restart the economy as quickly as possible, as the November 3 presidential election approaches.

France, Britain, Germany, and other countries allied to the United States were included in the "third degree", while India came in the fourth degree, which is the highest, and recommends that the American authorities avoid traveling to it.

According to official figures, 22,299 cases of coronavirus and 195 deaths related to the disease have been recorded in Venezuela, which has a population of 30 million. However, Human Rights Watch and the opposition say these figures do not reflect reality and hide a more alarming fact.
