Baltimore (dpa) - In the USA, the number of new corona infections recorded in one day continues to increase.
With 60,540 new cases on Tuesday, authorities reported around 7,000 more than the same day the previous week, according to data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore.
The number of deaths with a confirmed corona infection remained comparatively stable at 846.
The previous highs were recorded on January 2 with 300,416 new infections and on January 12 with 4477 deaths.
In the country with around 330 million inhabitants, almost 30.4 million people have so far been infected with the Sars-CoV-2 pathogen, and more than 550,000 people have died.
Measured in absolute terms - but not relative to population - that is more than in any other country in the world.
So far, around 96 million people across the country have received at least one vaccine dose, 53.4 million are considered fully vaccinated, according to figures from the CDC health authority.

The Johns Hopkins website is updated regularly and therefore shows a higher level than the official figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) or the CDC.
In some cases, the numbers - including those of new infections within 24 hours, but also those of the dead - are updated retrospectively.
