More than 1.13 million cases of infection with the new coronavirus were detected in the United States on Monday, January 10.

According to Reuters, this is a record daily increase since the start of the pandemic among all countries in the world.

Not all states of the country managed to publish data on the incidence over the past day, and the final figure is likely to be even higher. The previous record was recorded on January 4, when American doctors detected over 1 million cases of the disease caused by the coronavirus per day in the context of the spread of the omicron strain.

According to statistics, the number of hospitalized patients with covid reached 132,646, breaking the record in January last year with 132,051 patients. The data may not reflect the real situation, as many Americans take coronavirus tests at home and do not report the results to leading statistics agencies.
