The United States has set a new single-day record with over one million fresh coronavirus infections recorded in the country.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Data from the Johns Hopkins coronavirus resource centre,<\/a>\u00a0the US \u201creported 1,082,549 new confirmed cases and 1,688 deaths\u201d for Monday.<\/p>\n

With the latest update, the US has now confirmed a total of 56,697,387 infections, including 829,091 deaths.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/a>, the new figure comes days after a previous daily record of 590,000 cases.<\/p>\n

The development comes amid concerns of high transmissibility linked to the Omicron COVID variant.<\/p>\n

The index case of Omicron was detected in South Africa in November, and the World Health Organisation (WHO)<\/a> had designated it as a \u201cvariant of concern\u201d.<\/p>\n

Although the US had imposed a travel ban on eight southern African countries over concerns related to the Omicron variant, the ban was lifted on December 31.<\/p>\n

The affected countries are South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Announcing the suspension of the travel ban, Kevin Munoz, a White House spokesperson, had said the decision was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
