The United States president, Donald Trump, has said the the increase of Coronavirus cases in the US and globally is great news.
The novel coronavirus has now killed more than 520,000 people worldwide.
Over 10.8 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
Since the first cases were detected in China in December, the United States has become the worst-affected country, with more than 2.7 million diagnosed cases and at least 128,740 deaths.
Anyone in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is now required to wear a mask or face covering, Mayor Brenda Bethune told "Good Morning America."
The mandate comes ahead of what Bethune said will be a crowded holiday weekend, with more than 100,000 tourists expected to visit.
