The number of Americans in hospital with COVID-19 reached record levels as more than a million new cases were confirmed this month.

There are over 10 million confirmed US cases and 239,732 deaths so far - and the death toll is rising to an average of over 900 a day amid the new spikes.

Experts warn hospitals across the country could soon be overwhelmed.

The US has been seeing more than 100,000 new cases per day over the last 10 days in what experts say may be a worse outbreak than those seen in the spring and summer.
