The United States on Monday recorded the lowest one-day tally of COVID-19 deaths in the past month, according to researchers.

A tally from the widely-cited Johns Hopkins University reported that 1,015 people died of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus that emerged in China in 2019, on May 4. That’s the lowest one-day figure in about a month.
