In the U.S., there are nearly 1.55 million confirmed infections and the death toll has passed 93,400, according to Johns Hopkins. Globally, more than 328,000 people have died.
Reopenings are taking place across Europe and Asia. In the U.S., all 50 states have begun easing lockdown restrictions in some form, although Washington, D.C. remains under stay-at-home orders.
The World Health Organization has warned that the pandemic is far from over. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday that in the previous 24 hours, 106,000 new coronavirus cases had been reported to the United Nations health organization from around the world, the highest single-day total since the outbreak began.
We still have a long way to go in this pandemic, Mr. Tedros said.
