(CNN) The US is making significant strides in curbing the coronavirus pandemic just in time for the summer, with reported infections reaching a new low over the last year. The country averaged less than 14,400 daily reported infections and 427 deaths over the past seven days, according to Johns Hopkins University data. It's the lowest the US has seen since late March 2020, just weeks after the pandemic was first declared. The US reached its peak of daily vaccinations on April 1, with more than 4.3 million people inoculated in one day, according the CDC. Over the past week, an average of roughly 560,000 Americans have been vaccinated each day.
