The US hit a seven-day average of 254,496 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, according to Johns Hopkins University data -- blowing past the country's previous record of about 251,989 daily cases, reported on January 11.
The record comes amid a rapid acceleration of infections that the US -- and the rest of the world -- has seen since last month.
Tuesday's seven-day average is still in progress and may rise as the day ends.
