The previous record was recorded on December 18 with 249,664 new infections. At the same time, 2,398 deaths with a confirmed corona infection were recorded on Saturday. The previous high was reached on December 30 at 3,750. Due to trips and family gatherings after Thanksgiving in late November and during Christmas, health experts warned of a significant increase in the number of infections. In the country of around 330 million inhabitants, around 20.4 million people have been infected with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 and more than 350,000 have died. In absolute terms, that is more than in any other country in the world.
The Johns Hopkins website is regularly updated and therefore shows a level higher than the official figures of the World Health Organization (WHO). In some cases, the figures, including new infections in 24 hours, but also deaths, are updated later.
