How spread of virus looks in US

With more than 1.8 million cases, the US has the highest number of confirmed infections in the world. It has also recorded more than 109,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The state of New York has been particularly badly affected, with about 30,000 deaths in total. However, the number of daily deaths has dropped to fewer than 100 since 23 May – down from 1,000 a day in early April.

While the rate of new cases is now declining in many states, in others – including California, and several in the south-east – it is still rising.

At one point, more than 90% of the US population was under mandatory lockdown orders, but all 50 states have now begun to loosen their stay-at-home restrictions and allowed some businesses to reopen – a move health officials fear could further spread the virus.
