US coronavirus cases may be up to 10 times higher than data shows

As many as 20 million Americans may have contracted coronavirus rather than 2.3 million, health officials say.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the true number of Americans infected by COVID-19 could be nearly 10 times higher than the 2.3 million cases that have been confirmed.

The country recorded its biggest daily increase in new cases on Thursday.

Some states are now pausing efforts to reopen their economies.
