More than three million people in the US have now tested positive for COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Over 131,000 deaths have been reported, and today the US broke its record for most new cases reported in one day.

Over 60,000 new cases were reported today in the US.

Despite the rise, the White House wants to press forward on some reopenings, including for schools.

US Vice-President Mike Pence, who leads the White House Coronavirus Taskforce, argued rules should not be "too tough".
