The COVID-19 infection continues to spread at an alarming rate in the United States as a Reuters tally stated that almost 50,000 contracted the disease over 24 hours in the country on Wednesday, making it the largest one-day spike since the start of the pandemic.

The record follows a warning by the government’s top infectious diseases expert that the number could soon double to 100,000 cases a day if Americans do not come together to take steps necessary to halt the virus’ resurgent spread, such as wearing masks when unable to practice social distancing.
