The number of COVID-19 cases in the US surpassed the 2 million mark on Thursday (11 June), according to the Johns Hopkins University.
As of Thursday morning, the overall number of cases stood at 2,000,464, the University's Centre for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) revealed in its latest update.
Meanwhile, the national death toll from the disease rose to 112,924, it added.
The two tallies currently accounts for the highest in the world, making the US the worst-affected by the global pandemic.
New York state, the epicentre of the pandemic in the US, remains the hardest-hit with 380,156 cases and 30,542 fatalities.
Other states with over 100,000 cases include New Jersey, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts, the CSSE data showed.
According to The Washington Post, since the start of June, more than a dozen US states, including Texas and California, have recorded their highest-ever seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases, partly caused by the protests against police brutality.
