Texas has become the first state to surpass a million coronavirus cases in the United States, as the country battled a third wave of new infections and recorded over 100,000 infections three times in less than a week.
If Texas were a country, it would be the tenth most affected in the world for total Covid-19 cases. The state added about 6,800 new cases a day in the past week on average, based on a Reuters tally.
The United States is the worst affected country in the world, with over 9.8 million cases reported and over 230,000 deaths.
