Globally, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 have reached over 26,062,000, with over 863,000 deaths and 17,315,000 recoveries.
In the majority of countries in the European, African, Eastern Mediterranean, and Western Pacific regions, daily confirmed cases continue to decrease, while the Americas and South-East Asia continue to see a rise in daily cases.
The US, Brazil, and India primarily drive these increases due to the sheer magnitude of total confirmed cases that rank them first, second, and third highest in the world, respectively.
Brazil and India are both now approaching 4 million cases.
Meanwhile, Israel set a record high with over 3,000 daily confirmed cases reported today.
This marks the country’s biggest one-day jump, and brings the total number of confirmed cases to nearly 123,000.
