According to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, the coronavirus related fatalities in the US stood at 49,954.
The US, now the worst-hit country, has so far recorded 8,69,172 cases of the virus.
The US House of Representatives on Thursday (local time) passed a coronavirus pandemic relief bill of USD 484 billion that provides funding for small businesses, hospitals and coronavirus testing.
The passage of the bill, which is an interim measure, came just a few weeks after a USD 2 trillion rescue stimulus package was announced.
