The development in the United States is dramatic: there are again almost 2,000 new coronavirus-related deaths within a day.
Washington (dpa) - In the United States, nearly 2,000 people died after an infection with the novel corona virus for the second day in a row.
The total number of deaths in the country was 14,817, according to data from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shortly after midnight (local time). 24 hours earlier, the university had reported the death toll at 12,907. According to the information, around 430,000 infections with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 have already been detected.
According to data from the university, around 1.5 million people worldwide are now infected with the virus. Around 88,500 people died, and around 330,000 recovered from an infection with the virus.
The university's website is updated regularly and therefore shows a higher level of confirmed infections than the official figures of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US health authority CDC.
