US has so far recorded 30 million COVID-19 infections
According to data available, there have been more than 30 million COVID-19 infections in the United States ever since the pandemic emerged last year.
Data from Johns Hopkins University updated late Wednesday showed the country had passed a new record in coronavirus cases.
No other country has recorded so many cases, and there is likely to be a high number of infections that have not been registered.
The US is also the hardest-hit country worldwide when it comes to the absolute number of deaths from Covid-19, with more than half a million recorded.
The country of some 330 million people is moving to vaccinate the public quickly: more than 46.3 million have been fully vaccinated, while more than 85.4 million have received at least one dose.
