The United States recorded more than 25 million cases of Covid-19 on Saturday and just under 417,000 deaths.

This comes days after US President Joe Biden signed 10 executive orders aimed at expanding vaccine production, ramping up testing and reopening schools, among other goals. His full 198-page strategy to end the pandemic was boiled down to seven key points.

The first case of the coronavirus in the United States was recorded a little more than a year ago when a man in Seattle tested positive on January 21, 2020, after returning from a trip to Wuhan, China.
