As the United States continues to struggle with COVID-19, Florida broke a U.S. record for the largest number of new cases in a single day. State officials reported more than 15,000 new infections on Sunday. That number broke New York’s record of more than 12,000 cases in one day, set in April. Florida, however, is reporting far fewer deaths than New York did during the height of its crisis. COVID-19 deaths have been rising in the U.S., especially in the South and West. But the levels are still well below numbers recorded in April.
