According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 29.6 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 539,800 deaths reported from the virus.
Worldwide, more than 121.9 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 2.69 million have died. More than 69 million have recovered, according to Johns Hopkins University.
