There are at least 530,006 cases of coronavirus in the US, and at least 20,608 people have died in the U.S. from coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University's tally of cases in the United States.
Grim milestone: The US has the most coronavirus related deaths in the world.
The totals includes cases from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and other U.S. territories, as well as all repatriated cases.
Wyoming is the only state that is not reporting a death from coronavirus.

This Easter Sunday, the Rev. Tim Kesicki, the head of the Jesuit order in North America, will officiate a Mass around his family's dining room table.
The service will include just Kesicki, his sister and parents at their home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But it won't necessarily be a quiet Mass.
"During the homily, it is not uncommon for my mom to offer comments," Kesicki said, laughing. "It's very welcome, of course."
Kesicki, who lives in Washington, DC, has celebrated Mass with his family before, a perk of being an ordained Catholic priest.
But for many Christians, Easter this year will be dramatically different: a home-bound, shelter-in-place holy day. No Easter parades, no egg hunts at church, no church at all. As there's been all Lent, there's a solemness in the air. It doesn't escape many Christians that they're celebrating Jesus' resurrection at a time of rampant sickness and death.
More than 1.7 million people around the world have been infected by the novel coronavirus, and over 100,000 have died, according Johns Hopkins University. The collateral damage can seem nearly as stunning. More than 16 million Americans were out of jobs in just the last three weeks.
The pandemic has emptied St. Peter's Square of pilgrims, silenced the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and shuttered the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the site of the first Easter two millennia ago.
Sanctuaries across the world, normally filled with Easter lilies and families wearing spring pastels and holiday hats, sit vacant this Sunday.

China’s southern City of Guangzhou denied discriminatory practices towards foreigners in implementing coronavirus containment measures.
Here's some background: CNN reported Saturday the African community in Guangzhou is on edge after accounts shared widely on social media of people being left homeless this week. Africans have been evicted from their homes by landlords and turned away from hotels, despite many claiming to have no recent travel history or known contact with Covid-19 patients.
CNN interviewed more than two dozen Africans living in Guangzhou many of whom told of the same experiences: being left without a home, being subject to random testing for Covid-19, and being quarantined for 14 days in their homes, despite having no symptoms or contact with known patients.
Consulate sends warning: On Saturday, the US Consulate in Guangzhou sent out a message to those registered as US citizens with the embassy, warning African-Americans to avoid travel to the city due escalating scrutiny and policies by Chinese officials in relation to Covid-19. The message warned that the Chinese legal system “can be opaque” and that US citizens could be subject to “heightened scrutiny by Chinese local law enforcement and state security.”
Chinese officials have denied discriminatory practices towards foreigners.
“We have always attached great importance to the safety of foreigners in Guangzhou and have guaranteed their legitimate rights in accordance with law. Police authorities have treated Chinese and foreign citizens in Guangzhou equally, and made no differentiation in enforcing epidemic control and prevention measures,” Guangzhou Police spokesman Cai Wei said at a press conference on Sunday.
He added foreigners need to strictly abide by Chinese laws and show identification documents when requested by police. Those who refuse to do so are subject to punishment, Cai said, adding most foreigners have been cooperative.
Guangzhou’s director of foreign affairs said the city has a “zero tolerance” policy toward discrimination, adding "we treat all foreigners in Guangzhou equally. We are opposed to differentiated treatment targeting certain groups,” according to state media.

France's flagship aircraft carrier the Charles de Gaulle, which has 50 confirmed coronavirus cases on board, will arrive in Toulon on Sunday afternoon and begin to quarantine personnel, according to the French Defense Ministry.
The crews of the aircraft carrier, the on-board air group -- helicopters, Hawkeye and Rafale surveillance planes -- and the accompanying warship Chevalier Paul will be confined for 14 days on military bases before returning home, the Defense Ministry said in a statement Sunday.
"The primary objective is to protect soldiers, their loved ones and our fellow citizens. Accommodation and food capacities will be set up at naval and naval air bases, to ensure the best reception for sailors in the quarantine," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said that screenings will be carried out in the containment zone before sailors return to their homes, and buildings and aircraft disinfected by specialized teams.
According to a previous Defense Ministry statement, the flagship carrier left France on January 21 and was in the Atlantic. A medical team arrived on board on April 8, according to the Defense Ministry.

South Korea will strengthen measures for travelers from the US, extending the same requirement that previously only applied to travelers from Europe, the country's Centers for Disease Control Director Jung Eun-kyeong announced on Sunday at a briefing.
From Monday midnight, everyone traveling from the US will be required to test for coronavirus within three days of entry.
Previously, travelers coming from the US were required to self-isolate but only test for coronavirus if symptomatic.
Director Jung said that the measure was taken because "as the ratio of positive cases among those entering from the US continues to rise, and the risk of community spread in the US continues to rise, we deem that the risk of infection of travelers from the US has risen."
South Korea has 32 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus as of Sunday, of which 24 were imported. That brings the total number of cases to 10,512 and 214 deaths.
