Red Cross: Coronavirus cases exploding in Asia
The director of the International Federation of the Red Cross's Asia division said Wednesday that the COVID-19 outbreak is exploding across the continent, particularly in India and the southeast.
In a news release Wednesday, Red Cross Asia Pacific Director Alexander Matheou warned that nearly 6 million new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded on the continent in the past two weeks, while adding that the figure was likely an undercount due to highly stressed local health systems in some areas.
"COVID-19 is exploding across much of Asia, overwhelming hospitals and healthcare. More people have been diagnosed with the disease in Asia over the past two weeks than in the Americas, Europe, and Africa combined," Matheou said.
