Kathmandu Jan 5: More than one million corona virus infections have been confirmed in the United States in a single day.

According to Johns Hopkins University, which maintains the number of corona virus infections, 1,080,211 new infections were found in the United States on Monday.

Currently, a new wave of corona virus infection is spreading in the United States, Europe, various countries in Africa as well as neighboring India. But no other country in the world has reported so many infections in a single day. The number of infections in the United States has more than doubled in the past year, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Although the transmission is on the rise, President Joe Biden has been criticized for directing schools to remain open.

As the Corona virus wave continues to rise, U.S. officials say the transition to a new variant of the Corona virus, Omicron, has yet to reach its peak. Chief health adviser Anthony Fouchi said the graph of corona virus in the United States is growing rapidly and the epidemic is yet to reach its peak. That will come in a few weeks.

Despite the rapid rise in new corona virus infections, hospital admissions and mortality rates are lower than in previous seizures, he said. Many who have been hospitalized and who have died have not been vaccinated against corona virus. Stating that there is enough vaccine against corona virus in the country at present, he called on all to get vaccinated.
