This concludes our Tuesday live coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.

The US is still the hardest-hit country, with Illinois and New York both recording their deadliest days so far.

The virus is continuing to spread to smaller US cities, but officials in some states say the curve appears to be "flattening". New York has said their rate of new infections may be more of a "plateau".

Black Americans have been dying in disproportionate numbers, with inequalities in healthcare access and higher rates of chronic illness cited among causes.

We'll be back with more coverage on Wednesday.
