More than 10,000 people have died of coronavirus complications in the United States since the outbreak began in late January, AFP quoted Johns Hopkins University as saying on Monday.
The Baltimore-based school, which has been keeping a running tally of global coronavirus numbers, said there are at least 347,003 confirmed infections in the US with 10,335 deaths.
The world's leading economy is one of the worst-hit countries, trailing only Italy (15,877) and Spain (13,055) in numbers killed by the deadly pandemic.
The number of daily deaths is falling in some of the worst-affected European countries, but the US has yet to reach its peak of the crisis.
