The coronavirus cases in the country are more than 1.1 million, which includes 66,224 deaths as of 8:30 pm on Saturday (0030 GMT Sunday), as per the tally.
The US is the worst-hit country by the virus and the other severely-affected nations are far behind.
Earlier on Friday, Texas became the latest and largest state to ease lockdown measures despite recording its highest single-day deaths.
The pressure of reopening is mounting on several US states as anti-lockdown demonstrations were held in many parts, including California, where authorities had re-closed beaches from Friday after crowds flocked to the shoreline last weekend.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
How it spreads
The
virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets
generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These
droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or
surfaces.
You
can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close
proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated
surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
