The United States (US) recorded more than 69,000 infections on Friday setting another record for the number of Coronavirus cases in the country.

A total of eight US states — Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Ohio, Utah and Wisconsin — also reached records for single-day infections.

In Texas Governor Greg Abbott warned on Friday he may have to impose new lockdowns if the state cannot stem its record-setting caseloads and hospitalizations through masks and social distancing.

“If we don’t adopt this best practice it could lead to a shutdown of business,” the Republican governor told.

California announced on Friday the state will release up to 8,000 inmates early from prisons to slow the spread of COVID-19 inside the facilities. At San Quentin State Prison half of the facility’s roughly 3,300 prisoners have tested positive for the virus.
