WHO announces world record for new coronavirus cases

America and Europe are the most affected continents in one day with record diagnoses, WHO sources reported.

Meanwhile, India has become the country with the most Covid-19 infections in the world over the past week.

World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus last Friday warned the world is heading for “the highest rate of Covid-19 infection to date during the pandemic” , in part because of the rising before the hour. restrictions on the movement of populations.

India has recorded a record number of infections with more than 217,000 positive cases on the last day and nearly 1,200 deaths in a single day; and Papua New Guinea, an island of 8.7 million people and isolated by its geography, which until the start of the year had only 900 cases, now has a 10-fold increase in infections.

“Globally, the number of new cases per week has almost doubled in the past two months,” the WHO executive said according to the Europa Press news agency.
