The U.S. set another single-day record for coronavirus cases, as the total number of new infections topped 136,000, while hospitalizations due to Covid-19 were at their highest level since the pandemic began.
The total number of confirmed cases in the country surpassed 10.2 million, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, as the virus spread widely across the country.
COVID-19 hospitalization rates hit an all-time high in the US on Tuesday, as the illness peaked in at least three states.
A record 61,964 people were hospitalized with the virus nationwide, according to a tally kept by the COVID Tracking Project.
That number exceeds levels reached in the early days of the pandemic, when 59,940 hospitalized patients were reported on April 15, The New York Times reported.
New cases of the virus are also setting records nationwide.
In one week, new daily coronavirus cases in the United States went from 104,000 to more than 145,000 on Wednesday, the latest all-time high. Almost every metric is trending in the wrong direction as states add restrictions and health officials warn of a dangerous fall ahead.
