Coronavirus Infects 3.18 Million People in USA

The University of "Johns Hopkins", USA, reported that the health authorities revealed that 63643 new infections with the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and 774 deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours.

Jones Hopkins data released on Saturday showed that the total number of people infected with deadly virus in the country rose to 3.18 million, of whom 139,369 people have died, including 774 who died in the past 24 hours.

The USA is still the most affected by the pandemic in the world so far. This country is vastly different from other nations of the world.

However, epidemiologists warn that these figures, despite their large numbers, may be lesser than the actual figures because the difficulties that encountered doctors to conduct laboratory tests during the months of March and April this year.

Last Thursday, the United States registered a record daily of infections of more than 65,500 confirmed cases.

Anthony Fauchi, senior communicable disease expert at the US administration, said: "When we compare ourselves to other countries, I don't think we can say we are doing a good job."

The health expert has sounded the alarm for days about the high number of new infections, especially in the south and west states of the country.

He denounced the hasty lifting of closure measures and reckless Americans.

The novel Coronavirus has killed at least 551,140 people in the world since it appeared in China in December last year, according to a census based on official sources.

More than 12,361,580 cases have been officially recorded in 196 countries and regions since the outbreak began, at least 6,5 93,4 people have recovered

Experts believe that these figures reflect only a part of the true number of infections.

Many countries do not conduct tests except for the most serious cases, while other countries give priority in conducting tests to track contacts of the infected people.

A number of poor countries have limited sources to conduct medical examinations.
