COVID-19 cases top 10 million in US as Biden sets up task force

The United States has become the front country globally to record more than 10 million COVID-19 infections, according to data from the Reuters news agency.

The progress comes as global coronavirus cases exceeded 50 million.

President-elect Joe Biden, who used much of his election campaign scrutinising President Donald Trump’s approach of the pandemic, has vouched to make tackling the pandemic in the US a top priority. The Democrat is set to declare a 12-member task force on Monday to deal with COVID-19 that will be led by former surgeon general Dr Vivek Murthy and former Food and Drug Administration commissioner David Kessler.
