The U. S. set a somber single-day record for coronavirus cases on Tuesday, with 60,000 new cases reported, according to Johns Hopkins University statistics.
The number breaks the nation’s previous single-day record of more than 54,000 new cases reported on Thursday.
Throughout all 50 states as well as Washington, D. C., and other territories, the U. S. currently has 2.9 million diagnosed cases of the virus as well as at least 131,480 related deaths. The rise in daily cases nationwide began in late May, by which point all states were in some phase of reopening, first reaching about 20,000 cases a day before increasing to more than 50,000 last week for the first time, ABC News noted.
