Record increase in coronavirus infection recorded in US

In the United States over the past day revealed a record number of 40,870 people infected with coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, Reuters reports. According to the agency, the total number of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in the United States exceeded 2.47 million. Record rates of growth in the number of infected were recorded in the states of Idaho, Alabama, Arizona, Wyoming, Georgia, California, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Florida and South Carolina. It is noted that the number of infected has increased sharply due to the abolition of a number of quarantine restrictions. According to the news agency, earlier the head of the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, did not rule out that the true number of people infected with a new type of coronavirus in the United States is at least 23 million people, which is almost ten times higher than official data.
