Average daily US Covid-19 cases have risen to more than 450 per million people in the week to August 28, compared with below 40 in mid-June when the EU added the US to its list, figures from Our World in Data show.The EU safe list now comprises 17 countries, including Canada, Japan and New Zealand.
