Coronavirus tally: U.S known cases at lowest level since late April

U.S. known cases of COVID are continuing to ease and now stand at their lowest level since late April, although the true tally is likely higher given how many people are testing at home, where the data are not being collected. The daily average for new cases stood at 54,239 on Sunday, according to a New York Times tracker , down 18% from two weeks ago. The daily average for hospitalizations was down 14% at 29,835, while the daily average for deaths is up 15% to 432. Globally, the confirmed case tally rose above 615.1 million on Monday, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins, while the death toll is above 6.53 million with the U.S. leading the world with 96 million cases and 1,056,416 deaths.
