A record 1,233 new cases have been identified in a single day in the United States, the world’s worst-hit country in terms of infection and death, according to authorities.
New outbreaks in many states ahead of the presidential election are also raising concerns among experts, according to a Reuters report.
The deadly virus was found in the bodies of more than 91,000 patients in the United States on Thursday, the day before the release of the daily detected lakh on Friday.
Since the onset of the epidemic, more than one lakh patients have not been identified in any other country in a single day.

Joe Biden – Many believe that such an outbreak of the virus before Donald Trump’s assassination could have a major impact on the election.
According to the BBC, 21 states in the United States are now witnessing a sharp rise in infections. The key to deciding who is going to be president in Tuesday’s election is in the hands of the few states that are most concerned about the outbreak.
Trump’s rally in Wisconsin, known as the “Battleground,” has led to warnings from Green Bay hospitals that the infection could escalate.
A number of hospitals said in a joint statement that “it is more important to avoid crowds now than ever before, especially in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where we are seeing the fastest spread of the virus in the United States.”
In a post on Twitter before the rally in Wisconsin on Friday, Trump praised the role of his administration in tackling the virus.
“More patients on more identification tests. We have the best identification test. Deaths have also dropped significantly, ”he said.
Attendees at Trump’s recent rallies are now being given body temperature identification and masks, the BBC reported.
Rallies are also taking place outside the four walls due to epidemic warnings, although there are no social distance guidelines. Many of Trump’s supporters still refuse to wear masks.
Biden’s rallies, on the other hand, place the greatest emphasis on social distance.
In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., claimed that the epidemic was under the control of the United States administration, just like his father.
“I scrutinized the CDC data, because I kept hearing about new infections. I thought, why aren’t they talking about death? Because that number is almost nothing. We were able to control it; We understand how it works, ”he said.
According to Johns Hopkins University, the total number of deaths from coronavirus in the United States has already exceeded 229,000. The country has also seen more than 1,000 deaths from the virus in three days this month, Reuters reported.
Health experts fear that if the flu season continues to rise, the number of patients and deaths identified in the United States will continue to rise.
In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, the country’s top infectious expert. Anthony Fouchi says the United States is “going the wrong way” in dealing with the virus.
“If the situation does not change, if it continues to grow as it is now, it will bring us terrible suffering. Identified patients, hospitalized, deaths will increase, ”he said.
