On January 3, 1,688 deaths from Coronavirus Covid-19 were registered in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The United States registered more than a million cases of coronavirus on Monday, a daily number that had not been reported anywhere in the world during this pandemic, according to a balance by Johns Hopkins University.
Specifically, the country registered 1,080,211 new cases on January 3.
At a time when the omicron variant hits the country hard, the university also registered 1,688 deaths in 24 hours, a day after Anthony Fauci, the government’s main adviser on this pandemic, declared that the increase in COVID-19 cases in the United States was “almost vertical.”

The omicron variant, the most contagious to date, accounted for about 59% of the positives recorded in the United States in the week ending Dec. 25, according to government data.
Fauci said the case in South Africa, where this variant was first detected in late November and cases skyrocketed as they declined in a matter of weeks, gave some hope.
Mortality and hospitalization rates in the United States have been much lower in this wave than in previous ones.
