THE UNITED STATES and South Africa have reported record daily coronavirus cases, with US figures surpassing 50,000 a day for the first time.
The US has recorded 50,700 new cases, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University, as many states struggle to contain the spread of the pandemic, blamed in part on Americans not wearing masks or following social distancing rules.
Surging numbers in California have prompted governor Gavin Newsom to announce just ahead of the 4 July weekend that he is closing bars, cinemas and indoor restaurant dining over most of the state.
The US has now reported nearly 2.7 million cases and more than 128,000 deaths.
