Covid death toll in US reaches highest level: Report

The US continues to be the worst-hit country with the world’s highest number of cases and deaths at 75,316,209 and 890,528 respectively, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

However, it showed that this week the country’s Covid death toll rose 39 per cent over the past two weeks, CNBC reported.

The number of deaths from Covid rose to an average of more than 2,400 fatalities per day over the previous seven days as of Monday, the data showed.

Experts say that the death rate will continue to increase in the country.

The death rate in the country is more likely to surge, because states with lower vaccination rates got hit later by Omicron and haven’t experienced the full brunt of the variant yet, said Jennifer Nuzzo, head of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Covid Resource Center.
