US Coronavirus Death Toll Inching Toward 200,000 Deaths

VOA News

   The United States is approaching the milestone of 200,000 deaths from
   the coronavirus, experts monitoring the outbreak day.

   The U.S. has more than 6.8 million infections, according to the Johns
   Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, with 199,636 deaths --
   the most of any nation in either category.

   A recent rise in cases in southwestern and midwestern U.S. is being
   attributed to the reopening of schools and colleges there.

   In Europe, countries across the continent are imposing new restrictions
   as cases of the coronavirus grow.

   Britain reported 4,368 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, as the country
   nears a total of 400,000 cases.
