India on Friday posted another grim global record for daily coronavirus infections, pushing worldwide cases past 150 million, as the WHO listed the U.S. made Moderna vaccine for emergency use.
The United States had good news at home with the vaccination campaign boasting a significant milestone of 100 million people now vaccinated.
The country has distributed 237 million doses, and 55 percent of adults have now received at least one dose.
But the White House announced Friday the U.S. will restrict travel from India starting May 4, citing "extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in India".
