The number of people infected with coronavirus in the United States has exceeded 10 million.

The United States became the first country in the world to surpass 10 million cases of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Reuters reported on Sunday that about one million people in the country have been infected with the coronavirus in the past 10 days alone, citing a third wave of the coronavirus across the United States.

The United States on Saturday set a new record for new cases in a single day, reporting 131,420 new infections, although US officials say one reason the number is higher than in other countries is due to more testing and the availability of coronavirus tests.

The average number of people infected with the coronavirus in the United States over the past week has been 105,600 per day, which is higher than the average number of people infected with the disease in India and France, two countries that have the worst conditions in Asia and Europe in this regard.

So far, more than 237,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the United States, the highest death toll in the world.
