The Heat

The United States is once again shattering records. 

Over the last week, the US averaged more than 70,000 new coronavirus cases a day. The U.S. leads the world with the highest number of cases.

To date, some 8.8 million people have been infected in the US with more than 227,000 deaths.

The World Health Organization says as cases accelerate in the US and Europe, some governments may need to impose stricter measures.
