WHO says global COVID-19 cases nearly doubled in last two months, making vaccine drive more urgent than ever MarketWatch 1 hr ago
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
The World Health Organization warned Friday that the global tally of confirmed cases of the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19 has almost doubled in the last two months, and is now approaching the highest rate seen since the start of the pandemic.
“Some countries that had previously avoided widespread covid-19 transmission are now seeing steep increases in infections,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters at a briefing.
Case numbers are climbing in nearly all regions, including the Americas, with India, Brazil, Poland and Turkey becoming hot spots. Experts say part of the surge is due to new variants that are more infectious than the original virus. But the gradual easing of restrictions in some places and overall pandemic fatigue are also contributing to the trend.
