WASHINGTON - Bad news on the coronavirus pandemic front is mounting in the United States as a handful of states continued to see huge spikes in infections.

In southern California, Los Angeles County recorded a one-day spike of nearly 3,000 new infections on Monday , taking its total to more than 100,000 cases. Public health officials warned that hospitals could soon be overwhelmed. Florida - where the Republican Party is due to hold its Convention in Jacksonville in August - saw 5,266 new cases of Covid-19 on Monday, a drop after more than 8,500 new cases each of the three previous days.

"What has happened, I guess understandably, but nonetheless regrettably, that people took the attitude… either you're locked down, or you just let it fly and you just ignore many of the guidelines," he told CNN in an interview aired on Monday. "We have to act, and people as individuals have to act responsibly," he said."We need to social-distance. We need to wear our face-coverings if we're in settings where we can't social-distance, particularly in these hot zones."
