As we mentioned earlier, the death toll from coronavirus in the US has passed 400,000.
According to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, the country has now reported 400,022 fatalities, and more than 24 million cases.
This is more deaths and cases than reported by any other country in the world.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are due to lead an event in Washington later today to honour those killed by Covid-19.
The president-elect has pledged to vaccinate 100 million people in his first 100 days in office.
The Democrat received his first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine last month, saying he was getting the jab to show Americans it is "safe to take".
Donald Trump has been criticised by health experts for his handling of the pandemic.
But the White House defended the administration, highlighting Operation Warp Speed, the programme to develop and distribute vaccines.
“We grieve every single life lost to this pandemic, and thanks to the president’s leadership, Operation Warp Speed has led to the development of multiple safe and effective vaccines in record time, something many said would never happen,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said, according to AP news agency.
