A child looks at the"Naming the Lost Memorials," as the US deaths from the coronavirus disease surpass 600,000, at The Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, on June 10, 2021. A new antibody testing study has found further evidence that the coronavirus was present in the United States from at least December 2019, weeks before the first confirmed case was announced on January 21, 2020.
The participants were outside the major hotspots of Seattle and New York City, thought to be the key entry points of the virus to the United States. Progress against the coronavirus was underlined as New York announced more than 70 percent of adults had received at least one vaccine dose and the last of the state's restrictions could be lifted.
Biden has set July 4 as the target date for 70 percent of US adults to have received at least one dose, but several states in the South are lagging far behind and the country might miss that goal. Vaccinated people will be free to ditch their masks in nearly all of the nation's richest and most populous state, though exceptions will remain for locations including public transport, schools and hospitals.Brazil has had 80,609 new cases of the novel coronavirus reported in the past 24 hours, and 2,468 deaths from Covid-19, the Health Ministry said.
