The United States is the worst-hit country due to the virus with 81,100,500 virus cases and over 900,000 fatalities. Earlier this year, the country was hit with the Omicron wave but the COVID-19 cases have been on the decline since.

The average daily COVID-19 cases have dropped to 54,000 which is far below the peak COVID-19 figures. US vice-president Kamala Harris, 57, had recently tested positive for the virus, however, she was declared asymptomatic.
The US vice-president's husband Doug Emhoff was infected with the virus last month. Amid the declining cases, the White House warned that "any American could get Covid" while declaring that the Omicron variant is "very, very contagious".
