The number of Covid-19 hospitalized in the United States is approaching 100,000, the highest level since the start of the pandemic, according to estimates by the Covid Tracking Project.
The number of hospitalized Covid-19 patients reached 98,691 on Tuesday.
The number of new cases of coronavirus, which had fallen from previous record highs on Thanksgiving holidays, to more than 180,000 on Tuesday, according to Jones Hopkins University.
The number of Covid-19-related deaths reached 2,597 on Tuesday, the highest figure since mid-April.
This number was already approaching the April record, when it was 2,067 cases per day.
Although vaccines against the Covid-19 virus are close, experts say that gathering people during Thanksgiving and other upcoming holidays will lead to an increase in infections.
US President Donald Trump has praised success in the development of Covid-19 vaccines, but basically no longer seems to be paying attention to the outbreak.
There are growing concerns that the Trump administration is becoming less involved in efforts to stop the virus.
Among the countries in the world, the United States has the highest number of coronavirus cases and Covid-19-related deaths.
In a country of 330 million people, 13.7 million people have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus, and the number of Covid-19-related deaths has exceeded 270,000.
In proportion to the population, the United States ranks 12th in the world in terms of Covid-19-related deaths. Belgium is at the top of this bleak list, followed by Peru, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom.
