Iran Press/America: Washington: The coronavirus death toll in the United States — the country with the most fatalities in the pandemic — has climbed by 2,751 in the past 24 hours, the latest tally from Johns Hopkins University showed Tuesday.

Since the start of the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US, more than  819,164 people have been diagnosed with the disease, and the tally of deaths has passed 45,000 as of Tuesday, according to the latest official figures

Nearly 40,000 new cases were reported between Monday at 8.30 pm local time, and Tuesday at the same time, the university said.

This is while, more protesters gathering in state capitals, demanded an early end to the lockdowns.

Many of the protesters demanding an end to mandatory lockdowns expressed cynicism toward health experts and skepticism about the actual scale of the pandemic, accusing officials of overreaching and taking actions that had caused more harm than the virus itself.
