Across the United States, more than 36,000 new infections were reported by state health departments on Wednesday — surpassing the previous single-day record of 34,203 set on April 25. Texas, Florida and California led the way, with all three states reporting more than 5,000 new cases apiece.
Even as case numbers climb, reports circulated that the federal government is poised to stop providing federal aid to testing sites in some hard-hit states, including Texas,
prompting a top federal official to respond that testing was on the rise.
Since the start of the pandemic, the United States has
recorded more than 2.3 million coronavirus cases and at least 119,000 deaths, while the
global number of cases has soared past 9 million.
