At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported more than 400,000 cases of COVID-19 confirmed overnight, but this was explained by the fact that CDC statistics now include not only confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Texas but also “probable” cases (more than 171,500 with 13,253 confirmed).
