The United States added 46,321 new cases of coronavirus in 24 hours on Monday, according to a count by Johns Hopkins University.
The world's largest economy also added 532 deaths, the Baltimore-based institution's tracker showed at 8:30 p.m. (Tuesday at 0030 GMT).
The United States has registered a total of 4,711,323 cases, with 155,366 deaths, making it by far the most affected country in the world.
Monday was the second day for a slightly lower number of cases, after a five-day series last week that recorded more than 60,000 new infections daily.
President Donald Trump said during a coronavirus press conference on Monday that the virus was "receding" in parts of the southern and western United States, and considered the situation "very encouraging."
But the day before, White House coronavirus adviser Deborah Birx had warned that the country was entering a "new phase" of the pandemic, with rural areas as threatened as big cities.
