The United States recorded a record number of new infections on Saturday. More than 275,000 new corona cases were identified in one day, according to the Covid Tracking Project. The highest number recorded for this in one day was just under 250,000 new infections on December 18.
In the US, more than 20 million people have been infected since the start of the corona crisis, making the country the hardest hit by the corona virus worldwide in absolute numbers. According to Johns Hopkins University, about 350,000 people have died in the US from covid-19.
The number of infections has increased significantly in the US in recent weeks. The height of the pandemic is likely to come, says US corona adviser Fauci. He expects the virus to spread further due to the many travel movements around the holidays.
