The increase comes less than two weeks after Halloween.
A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now killed more than 1.3 million people worldwide.
Over 53.2 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some national governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their outbreaks. The criteria for diagnosis -- through clinical means or a lab test -- has also varied from country to country.
Since the first cases were detected in China in December, the virus has rapidly spread to every continent except Antarctica. The United States is the worst-affected nation, with more than 10.7 million diagnosed cases and at least 244,283 deaths.
Nearly 200 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are being tracked by the World Health Organization, at least 10 of which are in crucial phase three studies. Of those 10 potential vaccines in late-stage trials, there are currently five that will be available in the United States if approved.
White House political director Brian Jack and at least two other White House aides have tested positive for COVID-19, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
At least 12 people in President Donald Trump's orbit have tested positive since White House chief of staff Mark Meadows tested positive one week ago.

This Saturday's football game between Maryland and Ohio State has been canceled "due to an elevated number of COVID-19 cases" on Maryland's team, the school announced.
In the last week, eight football players have tested positive, the school said.
"The responsible thing for us to do is pause football activities," Athletics Director Damon Evans said.
The game will not be rescheduled, Maryland said. Four other games featuring ranked teams, including No. 1 Alabama, have been postponed this weekend due to COVID-19 outbreaks.
Restaurants, bars and gyms in New York will close at 10 p.m. each night beginning this Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, citing those locations as "main spreaders" of COVID-19.
Cuomo also said no more than 10 people are allowed in a private home for gatherings.
The statewide positivity rate stands at 2.9%.
