As it happened: US passes three million coronavirus cases - BBC News
Several US states are seeing a surge in new infections, and plans to reopen have been paused or reversed.
As we reported earlier, VP Mike Pence has been holding a press briefing, where he confirmed the US has passed 3 million cases of the virus.

He's downplayed a threat from President Trump over schools reopening, saying the White House would be "very respectful" of states and communities who decide they can't fully open their schools.

"We're here to help," Mr Pence - a former governor of Indiana - told reporters.

"We don't want federal guidance to be a substitute for state and local laws and rules and guidance. We're here to assist with the shared objective, which I think is shared by every parent in America, which is we want to get our kids back. We want to get them back in the classroom."

His tone was markedly different to that of President Trump, who earlier today threatened to cut off funding to schools that don't open in the autumn. He also said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines for reopening schools were "very tough and expensive".

Schools in the US normally begin the year in either August or early September.

The CDC's guidelines suggest pupils and staff all wear face coverings and stay at home if necessary. They also suggest schools should implement staggered timetables and socially distanced seating arrangements, and close communal spaces.

However Mr Pence said the agency would be issuing new guidelines soon.

The US has the highest number of infections, and the highest death toll, in the world.
