The US registered more than 3,000 coronavirus fatalities in the last 24 hours, the highest single-day spike since April, according to the Johns Hopkins University.

On Wednesday, there were a total of 3,071 fatalities, which increased the country’s overall death toll to 289,283, Xinhua news agency reported citing figures issued by the University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE).

The overall caseload as of Thursday morning stood at 5,379,574, according to the CSSE.
