US reports over 200,000 new cases in a day for 3rd time this month
There were 209,988 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the United States on Monday, according to a real-time count kept by Johns Hopkins University, although that data likely includes a backlog from the weekend.
This is the third time this month that the U.S. has reported more than 200,000 newly confirmed infections in a single day.
Many states are no longer reporting COVID-19 data daily. Single-day case totals, particularly early on in the week, may be skewed as a result of a backlog release of data.

There are nearly 93,000 patients now hospitalized across the country with COVID-19, according to federal data.
