The world's cumulative coronavirus cases reached 4.6 million on Saturday with more than 310,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
In the United States, there have been 1.46 million cases and more than 88,000 deaths.
Many parts of the U.S. have reopened with certain businesses opening with stricter guidelines.
However hard hit areas, such as New York City remain under tight restrictions as they wait for lower infection rates.
In New Orleans, buildings are restricted to 25% of capacity and restaurants, nail salons, and other businesses can only take customers by reservation.
