Coronavirus infections in the United States exceed 7 million
The latest figures showed that the number of new coronavirus cases in the United States exceeded seven million Thursday, representing more than 20 percent of the global total.
This came days after the number of deaths due to the virus in the United States exceeded 200,000, the largest in the world.
More than 700 people die every day in the United States from the Covid-19 disease caused by the virus.
According to a Reuters tally, the number of cases has increased in half of the 50 US states this month.
Ten states recorded a record increase in the number of daily HIV infections in September.
New infections rose last week, after falling for eight consecutive weeks.
Health experts believe the increase is due to the reopening of schools and universities as well as the parties during the May Day holiday recently.
