Six southern and western US states registered record numbers of new coronavirus infections on Tuesday - California, Arkansas, Florida, Montana, Oregon, and Texas.

Texas joined California and New York to register more than 400,000 cases.
President Donald Trump, who has come under widespread criticism for his handling of the crisis, insisted that large parts of the US were virus-free, even though federal data shows just one state, Vermont, doing well.

The US now has more than 4.3 million reported cases of Covid-19, and more than 149,000 deaths.
