The number of deaths and hospitalizations from COVID-19 in the U.S. hits another high.

Additional patients suspected of having mutated coronavirus have also emerged.

This is a report from Washington correspondent Taewook Kang.

The number of deaths per day of Corona 19 in the United States reached 3,725 on the 29th.

This surpassed the previous maximum of 3,682 people on the 16th.

Inpatients are also peaking again in one day.

The number of new confirmed patients who had stalled over the weekend also surpassed 200,000.

There are concerns that the aftermath of the Christmas holiday has already begun.

In the meantime, the number of people infected with the mutant virus originating in the UK continues.

In Colorado, an infected person in their twenties with no travel experience was confirmed, and another suspect came from the same place.

The state said both men were members of the State National Guard and had performed non-medical work in one nursing facility.

Governor Jared Polis says he has been under close follow-up because he believes a community infection of the mutant virus has occurred.

In particular, mutant viruses originating in the UK are known to be up to 70% more contagious than before and spread rapidly, making American society darker.
