COVID-19: US records 382 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours, lowest in week

Washington: The United States has recorded 382 coronavirus-related deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing its death toll to 115,729, according to a tally Sunday by Johns Hopkins University.

This was the lowest US 24-hour toll since the peak in mid-April. It has been averaging 800 or so a day recently.

The world’s top economy is by far the hardest-hit country in the pandemic, with both the highest number of deaths and the largest number of infections — 2,093,335 at 8.30pm Saturday (4.30am UAE Sunday), a tracker maintained by the Baltimore-based university showed.
