The U.S. recorded 62,000 new coronavirus infections and over 1,500 deaths Thursday as governors continue to roll back public health measures.
In Europe, Demark, Norway and Iceland have suspended use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after reports of severe cases of blood clots — and one death — in vaccinated people.
