Texas Becomes First State to Hit 1M COVID-19 Cases
(CNN)Texas has surpassed 1 million Covid-19 infections, according to data from Johns Hopkins University — becoming the first US state to record such a staggering number of cases.
That means about one-tenth of the country’s more than 10 million positive tests were reported in the Lone Star state.
India, Brazil, France, Russia, Spain, Argentina, the United Kingdom and Colombia have also all reported more than a million infections, Johns Hopkins data shows.
Texas also reported more than 10,000 new cases for a second day in a row Wednesday, topping the record set just a day before.
