Coronavirus: US Cases Exceeds 2 Million

The number of confirmed coronavirus infections in the US since the outbreak began is 1,999,392 according to data collected by the Johns Hopkins University.

The United States has by far the overall highest infections - almost three times the number of Brazil (772,416).

The US also carries out the most tests, with around half a million performed per day. That partly explains the high infection figure, with around 20,000 new cases added each day.

The US also has the highest death toll, at 112,878, ahead of the UK (41,213) and Brazil (39,680). Again, it's worth stressing that different countries record Covid-19 deaths in different ways.
