U.S. coronavirus cases officially surpassed 2 million, prompting health officials to urge recent protest attendees to get tested.
New infections are slightly increasing nationally after five weeks of decline, attributed to expanded testing and states gradually reopening.
The U.S. death toll exceeded 112,000, remaining the highest globally, despite June's average daily new cases being lower than April's peak.
National positive test rates, fluctuating between 4% and 7%, largely fail to meet WHO's recommendation of 5% or lower for 14 days before reopening.
