The United States recorded another 77,000 coronavirus cases and 2,400 COVID-19 deaths on Thursday. A seven-day average of new infections has begun to tick up again, after a sharp fall from January’s peak. In Washington, D.C., President Biden held an event marking 50 million vaccinations under his administration.

President Joe Biden: “This is not a time to relax. We must keep washing our hands, stay socially distanced and, for God’s sake, for God’s sake, wear a mask.”
