Globally, confirmed novel Coronavirus infections crossed 10 million on Sunday as voters in Poland and France went voted for virus-delayed elections. Vice President Mike Pence called off campaign events in Florida and Arizona after surges in infections prompted worries that the US has lost control of its outbreak.
Texas and Florida reversed course and closed down bars again. The US has recorded 2,596,894 cases and 1,28,153 deaths so far. Florida on Saturday registered over 9,500 new cases. Texas reported 5,747 new cases on Saturday. Texas is scrambling to contain what is now one of the nation's biggest hotspots. The state's total jumped to 1,43,371 cases and 2,366, with 42 more confirmed on Saturday.
