The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States surpassed 33.52 million as of Saturday, with the death toll surpassing 601,000, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.
Specifically, the country's case count rose to 33,523,364, with the death toll reaching 601,727 as of 19:22 Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Saturday, the CSSE tally showed.
According to a foreign media report, about 65.1 percent of the U.S. adults had at least received one shot of vaccine and 55 percent of the American adults had finished vaccination as of Saturday. While the percentages were respectively 63.8 percent and 53.1 percent on June 8 according to the previous data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showing that little progress was made in vaccination in the past ten days.
The U.S. government is investing more than 3 billion U.S. dollars to accelerate the development and manufacturing of antiviral medicines, according to government authorities.
The plan, called the Antiviral Program for Pandemics, will respond to the urgent need for antivirals to treat COVID-19 by spurring the availability of medicines to prevent serious illness and save lives, according to a statement of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
It also will build sustainable platforms for developing antivirals for other viruses with pandemic potential, according to the HHS.
The plan provides more than 300 million U.S. dollars for research and lab support, nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars for preclinical and clinical evaluation, and nearly 700 million U.S. dollars for development and manufacturing through the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, according to the HHS.
