U.S. coronavirus cases climbed past 1,000, according to a Johns Hopkins tally, and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some parts of the country are now beyond containment efforts.

Regions from Italy to New York amped up containment efforts as the global death toll climbed above 4,000. Infections in Italy topped 10,000 as the country attempted a nationwide lockdown.
