More Than 230,000 Covid-19 Cases Were Recorded Yesterday In The Darkest 24 Hours Of the Pandemic- WHO
More than 230,000 Covid-19 cases were recorded yesterday in the darkest 24 hours of the pandemic so far, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The record-high number of new infections means 12.5million people worldwide have now been struck down since the pandemic began back in December.
Outbreaks are growing in the US, Brazil, India and South Africa, statistics show. While European nations appear to have emerged from the worst of the crisis.
The coronavirus — which first emerged in China — has killed more than half a million but the number of infected patients dying each day has barely changed.
WHO chiefs have warned the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic is yet to come because the spread of the virus is accelerating in some parts of the world.
The total number of cases worldwide has doubled in the last six weeks, according to Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the UN agency.
Dr Tedros last week warned the coronavirus pandemic has still not reached its peak and admitted the situation is 'getting worse'.
