US Covid deaths touch 2,259 per day this week: Reports
London/UNI/Xinhua: The seven-day average of COVID-19 deaths in the United States is increasing at a worrying rate, hitting 2,259 on Wednesday, the highest level since last winter's surge, the Daily Mail said in a recent report.
Meanwhile, daily cases have dropped by 13 per cent during the same period, down to 639,723 per day, said the newspaper, citing data from Johns Hopkins University.
While cases are declining in the United States, Dr Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, warned that it is too early to totally "return to normal," the report said.
The high volume of Covid-19 cases can still strain hospital systems and cause deaths to rise to worrying levels, it added.
Another threat could be around the corner as well.
