The number of people hospitalized has also decreased to 1,766 with 44 fewer hospitalizations than yesterday. Sunday marks the fourth consecutive day where hospitalizations have declined.
In total, 79,811 people have been tested for the virus with an increase of 2,209 people tested since yesterday.

The U.S. death toll in the coronavirus pandemic surpassed 53,000 yesterday, with over 938,000 confirmed cases, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University. The true figures are believed to be much higher, in part because of limited testing and difficulties in counting the dead.
