Coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 35,443 deaths from more than 690,000 COVID-19 cases as of Saturday’s daily U.S. update.

According to data compiled and regularly updated by Johns Hopkins University, there were more than 2.3 million cases and over 162,000 deaths globally as of Sunday morning.
