The United States is now reporting more than 18,000 deaths from coronavirus across the country, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Globally, over 100,000 people have died and more than 1.6 million have been sickened by COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

Most Americans continue to think the battle against the coronavirus outbreak is going badly, and few would feel comfortable being out in crowded spaces now, a new CBS News poll found.

Detailed information from the CDC on coronavirus treatment and prevention.
