WASHINGTON: The United States on Saturday recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases recorded in a day, with more than 277,000 infections.
The country most affected by the pandemic in the world, the United States has reported 20.4 million cases in general and just under 350,000 deaths.
Infections have been on the rise in recent months, with top US government scientist Anthony Fauci warning a few days after Christmas that the worst of the pandemic could still come, and leading the country to a “point critical “as holiday trips spread the virus.
The country has failed in its efforts to stifle Covid-19, with its vaccination program surrounded by logistical problems and overly stretched hospitals.
More than 4.2 million people in the US have already received the first blows, with 13 million doses distributed, but this is far behind the 20 million inoculations that the administration of President Donald Trump promised in late 2020 .
