Coronavirus update: U.S. cases top 5 million, making up 25% of global total
The U.S. reached another dire milestone on Monday in confirmed cases of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, as the new case tally topped 5 million, which is more than one-quarter of the global total of nearly 20 million cases, as uncertainties over the U.S. response continue to grow.
Just as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave people a glimmer of hope for a return to normalcy late Friday, by saying schools in his state can reopen for in-person learning in September as long as certain guidelines were maintained, Georgia’s North Paulding High School may have crushed the hopes of some for a return to normal school habits.
Meanwhile, after the White House and government lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on a new round of stimulus measures, President Trump signed on Saturday, in front of members of his Bedminster, N.J. golf course, orders to pause the collection of payroll taxes, provide rent relief, help with student-loan payments and extend a part of additional unemployment benefits that had lapsed at the end of July.
Latest tallies There are now 19.9 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 world-wide, the Johns Hopkins data shows, and 732,128 people have died. At least 12.1 million people are confirmed to have recovered from the illness.
