The United States has passed the grim milestone of 180,000 coronavirus deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University's real-time tracker.
The US added 931 new virus deaths in 24 hours, the Baltimore-based university reported last night, bringing the total death toll to 180,527.
An additional 42,859 new cases brought the overall caseload to 5,860,397. The US is by far the hardest-hit country in the world in terms of both number of cases and deaths.
At least 2,101,326 have recovered from the virus in the country. The number of new Covid-19 cases in the US has dropped in recent weeks, but the country is far from out of the woods, with case numbers varying vastly by region.
