NEW YORK: US coronavirus cases topped 500,000 on Friday (Apr 10), according to a Reuters tally, although there are signs that Americans staying home was helping to curb new infections.
Confirmed US cases of the COVID-19 illness caused by the virus have been rising by 30,000 to 35,000 cases a day as testing becomes more available. Globally, there have been more than 1.6 million confirmed cases, with the death toll topping 100,000 on Friday.
The United States, now the pandemic's epicentre, became the first country to record more than 2,000 virus deaths in one day, with 2,108 fatalities on Friday according to a Johns Hopkins University tally.
With almost 18,600 deaths overall, the US is closing in on the 18,849 dead in Italy, which has the most fatalities so far in the pandemic.

READ: WHO warns about dangers of premature lifting of COVID-19 restrictions
With many Americans celebrating the Easter holiday on Sunday, the top US infectious disease expert warned that it is too early to relax restrictions on Americans.
"Now is no time to back off," Dr Anthony Fauci said.
The social distancing guidelines have taken a toll on the US economy. Some economists are forecasting job losses of up to 20 million in April, raising questions about how long business closures and travel restrictions can be sustained. The Trump administration's top economic officials said on Thursday they believe the US economy could start to reopen for normal business in May.
Only Italy has more coronavirus deaths than the United States, with 18,849 fatalities reported on Friday, although it has a much smaller population. After a marked reduction from previous peaks, new infections have picked up in the past two days, frustrating hopes that the illness was in clear retreat.

Top economic officials in the Trump administration have expressed hope that businesses could start to reopen in May, but America's top infectious diseases expert has warned against relaxing restrictions prematurely.
"Now is no time to back off," Dr Anthony Fauci said.
In total, more than 18,600 people in the US have died after testing positive for the coronavirus - narrowly behind Italy, which currently has the highest number of fatalities worldwide.

More from Covid-19
Evidence suggests that the number of new infections is flattening in New York state, the epicentre of the US outbreak.
Racial disparities in US COVID-19 deaths
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo confirmed there were 777 new deaths in the state on Friday, a slight reduction on the day before.
But in more encouraging news, the number of new hospitalisations increased by just 290 - considerably less than last week, when over 1,000 admissions were regularly being made on a daily basis.
The number of intensive care patients in New York has also decreased slightly for the first time since the middle of March.
10,000 families line up at Texas food bank
On Friday, President Donald Trump said that he believes the US will lose fewer than 100,000 lives to coronavirus - and he ordered the US government to provide medical supplies and humanitarian relief to Italy.
US government figures leaked to The New York Times have suggested that the total number of fatalities in the US could reach 200,000 if Mr Trump lifts shelter-in-place orders after 30 days.
The document also warned that coronavirus infectious could spike in the summer, but no specific dates were given.
New data has suggested that black and Hispanic people in the US are twice as likely to die from COVID-19 - in part because they have poor access to healthcare.
In New York state, 17% of those who die from coronavirus are black, despite representing only 9% of the population.
And in Illinois, black residents have accounted for 42% of coronavirus-related deaths statewide, despite only accounting for about 14% of the state's population.
Unclaimed virus victims in NY buried in mass grave
New York City has begun digging extra graves in its public cemetery, with pictures showing pine caskets stacked on top of each other in a large burial pit.
It has hired labourers to bury people who have died after contracting the coronavirus and whose bodies have not been claimed.

Data: The Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins; Map: Andrew Witherspoon/Axios
The number of novel coronavirus cases now exceeds 557,000 in the U.S., with more than 2.8 million tests having been conducted as of Monday morning, per Johns Hopkins. Over 41,800 Americans have recovered from the virus.
The big picture: The pandemic is exposing — and deepening — many of the nation's great inequalities.
Of note: The COVID-19 death toll surpassed that of Italy's Saturday. More than 22,100 Americans have died of the virus. The virus has killed more than 1,000 people every day in the U.S. since April 1. New York's death toll rose to 9,385 Sunday with 188,902 cases.
What's happening: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday he's coordinating with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut on when to ease coronavirus restrictions, adding he wants to reopen non-essential businesses and public places "as soon as possible." The data and science will drive his decision, he added.

President Trump told Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine" Saturday night "a lot of facts and a lot of instinct" will help him decide when to recommend reopening the United States following the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The big picture: The president said last month he would "love" to have the country "opened up, and just raring to go" by Easter, but he has since extended "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines until April 30 amid a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Andrew Cuomo said Sunday he's coordinating with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut on when to ease coronavirus restrictions, adding he wants to reopen non-essential businesses and public places "as soon as possible." The data and science will drive his decision, he added.
- President Trump's economic adviser Peter Navarro told "60 Minutes" in an interview broadcast Sunday the "globalization of production" is to blame for essential medical equipment shortages needed to treat the coronavirus in the U.S.
- Anthony Fauci, the NIAID director, said on CNN Sunday "no one is going to deny" that more lives could have been saved if the Trump administration had implemented social distancing guidelines before March.
- Cuomo criticized Congress Sunday for not doing enough to support state governments in the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill.
- Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) issued a joint statement Saturday calling on Congress to appropriate $500 billion in funding for state governments
- Trump told Fox News Saturday "facts and a lot of instinct" will help him decide when to recommend reopening the U.S., adding, "We'll be making that decision fairly soon."
- Lifting social distancing restrictions after 30 days would lead to a spike in infections this summer, per government projections obtained by the New York Times. But Trump has been frustrated with the pandemic's impact on the economy and is pushing for a May 1 reopening.
- A Justice Department spokesperson warned Saturday local authorities that have cracked down on religious services amid restrictive measures to "[e]xpect action from the DOJ next week!"
- 103 more crew members on the U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for COVID-19, the Navy said Saturday, taking the total number of cases from the ship to 550.
- Americans began to receive Saturday the first payments from the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package , as the IRS launched a new web tool for those who don't regularly file tax returns to get their check more quickly.
- Leading coronavirus modeling has lowered its projection for the number of American deaths, a sign that social distancing is working.
- Drugmaker Gilead is to release a clinical trial data in the next couple weeks for a potential treatment.
- Smaller airlines receiving bailouts of up to $100 million won't have to provide the federal government with compensation, the Treasury Department said.
- Roughly 16 million Americans have filed for jobless benefits over the past three weeks due to the pandemic's growing economic repercussions. Trump is preparing to launch a second coronavirus task force focused on economic recovery.
- State officials have stressed that lockdowns must continue even if cities begin to see slight improvements from social distancing.
- Coronavirus testing capacity is still far enough behind demand that the U.S. continues to only test the sickest patients, which allowed the virus to spread without detection, almost certainly making it worse than it would have been otherwise.
