The U.S. Hits a Record 1.35 Million New COVID-19 Cases
The U.S. recorded 1.35 million new COVID-19 cases on Monday, according to a Reuters tally, shattering the record for most coronavirus infections reported in one day.
Monday’s case count broke the previous record set on Jan. 3 when 1.03 million cases were reported, the news service noted. Mondays typically see a large number of new COVID-19 cases because some states do not report data over the weekend.
The seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases has reportedly skyrocketed as well, tripling to more than 700,000 new daily cases over the past two weeks.
