The United States has recorded the maximum daily spread of coronavirus infection since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is reported by CNN, citing data from Johns Hopkins University.
On December 28, 254,496 new cases of infection were recorded in the country. These figures exceed the previous record recorded on January 11 this year (then 251,989 infections were recorded).
Achievement of the maximum infections is observed against the background of an increase in the spread of infection both in the United States and in other countries of the world. In addition, a number of experts are concerned about the spread of the omicron strain of the coronavirus.
According to experts interviewed by CNN, January will be a difficult month, but those who are vaccinated should not be afraid: the course of the disease will be mild.
Johns Hopkins University estimates the number of infections in the United States has reached 53.1 million.
