Friday, the United States recorded more than 127,000 new cases of coronavirus within 24 hours, in a record daily toll for the third consecutive day, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

University data, which is considered a reference in tracking cases and deaths resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, showed that between Thursday and Friday, the United States recorded 127,021 new cases of the virus.

During the same time period, 1,149 people died from COVID-19 in the United States.

For the fourth consecutive day, the United States has recorded more than a thousand deaths from coronavirus, something that has not happened since last August.

This brings the cumulative number of people infected with COVID-19 in the United States Friday to 9.7 million. More than 236,000 people have died since the start of the pandemic.

This record outcome comes at a time when the United States is still waiting for the result of the presidential election that took place Tuesday, in which Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, competed.

The elections took place in the United States, the country most affected by the pandemic in the world in terms of the number of victims, due to the impact of the pandemic, which had its repercussions on the electoral campaign as well as on the voting and counting processes.

The pandemic has prompted tens of millions of voters to vote early, either by mail or in attendance, to avoid waiting lines on Election Day.

The huge amount of postal ballots slowed the vote count and delayed the release of results in many states.

The pandemic has plunged the country into the worst health crisis since the Spanish Flu in 1918 and in the worst economic recession since the Great Depression in 1929.

Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced that the recent increase in the number of daily infections in the pandemic is a "cause of concern" for the economy.
