In the United States also, cases of Covid-19 explode: more than a million contaminations were recorded in 24 hours, Monday January 3. On the spot, the correspondent of France Televisions, Loïc de la Mornais, draws up an inventory.
Faced with this impressive increase in contamination, with more than a million positive cases in 24 hours, the US government is talking about “soaring”. Over the same period, last year, the American authorities recorded only 250,000 contaminations in 24 hours, almost four times less.
“Around us, there is no longer any self-test available in pharmacies and no more means of making an appointment. The American authorities expect this peak to last a few weeks”, reports Loïc de la Mornais, live from Washington for the 20 Hours of France 2. Only point “positive”, the number of deaths is rather decreasing, with 1,200 deaths per day on average. “And this is partly due to the progress of vaccination”, concludes the journalist.
