The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). More than 28,900,000 confirmed cases have been reported since January 2020, resulting in more than 524,000 deaths, the most of any country and the ninth-highest per capita.[6][9] The U.S. has nearly a quarter of the world's cases and a fifth of all deaths. More Americans have died from COVID-19 than during World War II.[10] COVID-19 became the third leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[11] U.S. life expectancy dropped from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.8 years in the first half of 2020.[12]

On December 31, 2019, China announced the discovery of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan. The first American case was reported on January 20, and President Donald Trump declared the U.S. outbreak a public health emergency on January 31. Restrictions were placed on flights arriving from China,[13][14] but the initial U.S. response to the pandemic was otherwise slow, in terms of preparing the healthcare system, stopping other travel, and testing.[15][16][17][a] Meanwhile, Trump remained optimistic on the future of the coronavirus in the United States.

The first known American deaths occurred in February.[19][b] On March 6, Trump signed the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, which provided $8.3 billion in emergency funding for federal agencies to respond to the outbreak.[20] On March 13, President Trump declared a national emergency.[21] In mid-March, the Trump administration started to purchase large quantities of medical equipment,[22] and in late March, it invoked the Defense Production Act to direct industries to produce medical equipment.[23] By April 17, the federal government approved disaster declarations for all states and territories. By mid-April, cases had been confirmed in all fifty U.S. states, and by November in all inhabited U.S. territories. A second rise in infections began in June 2020, following relaxed restrictions in several states, leading to daily cases surpassing 60,000.[24] A third rise in infections began around mid-October, leading to daily cases reaching over 100,000 by the end of the month.[25][26]

State and local responses to the outbreak have included prohibitions and cancellation of large-scale gatherings (including festivals and sporting events), stay-at-home orders, and school closures.[27] Disproportionate numbers of cases have been observed among Black and Latino populations,[28][29][30] and there were reported incidents of xenophobia and racism against Asian Americans.[31] Clusters of infections and deaths have occurred in many areas.[c]
