The COVID-19 battle is not over: Rising infections seen worldwide
BERLIN (AP) -- Nations around the world and several U.S. states struggle to contain a surge of coronavirus infections as lockdowns are eased. Germany slapped new restrictions on a region where hundreds were infected at a slaughterhouse. Rapid increases in cases across the U.S. South and West are raising fears that progress against the virus is slipping away. The United States has the most infections and deaths in the world, with 2.3 million cases and over 120,000 confirmed virus-related deaths, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
