As the number of corona19 patients in the United States increased by more than 5,000 a day, the cumulative number of confirmed patients surpassed 18,000, CNN reported.

The total number of deaths was 241, more than doubled in three days after surpassing 100 on the 17th.

The United States has recently introduced a new testing platform, allowing tens of thousands of tests per day, which is expected to significantly increase the number of patients over the next few days.

As the number of patients surges, more and more regions are ordering 'home evacuation' to stay home without going out to control the spread of corona.

Following the state of California, New York, Illinois, and Connecticut were ordered to stay.

About 70 million people, or one-fifth of the nation's population, have been placed under the influence of the evacuation order.
