Coronavirus cases in the U.S. increased 1%, less than the average daily increase over the past week, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University and Bloomberg News. California became the third U.S. state to surpass 10,000 coronavirus-related deaths.
Princeton University abandoned plans to bring undergraduates back on campus for the next term. In contrast, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state’s schools can reopen in September based on infection rates as they stand now.
