The overall number of Covid cases is fast approaching 482
million amid a rise in new infections in parts of the world.
According to Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the total case
count mounted to 481,965,679 while the death toll from the virus reached
6,127,067 Tuesday morning.
The US has recorded 79,995,485 cases so far and 977,687
people have died from the virus in the country, the university data shows.
The number of new coronavirus cases globally increased by 7%
last week, driven largely by rising infections in the Western Pacific, even as
reported deaths from Covid fell, the World Health Organization said.
There were more than 12 million new weekly cases and just
under 33,000 deaths, a 23% decline in mortality, according to the UN health
agency’s report on the pandemic issued late Tuesday, reports AP.
Confirmed cases of the virus had been falling steadily
worldwide since January but rose again last week, due to the more infectious
omicron variant and its subvariant BA.2, in addition to the suspension of Covid
protocols in numerous countries in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
China has reported more than 56,000 confirmed cases
nationwide this month, reports AP.
India's Covid-19 tally rose to 43,021,722 on Monday as 999
new cases were registered in 24 hours across the country, showed the federal
health ministry's latest data.
Besides, 94 deaths due to the pandemic were reported since
Saturday morning, taking the total death toll to 521,098.
Meanwhile, Brazil, which has been experiencing a new wave of
cases since January last year, registered 9,923 cases and 86 more deaths from
Covid-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of infections to
29,852,341 and the national death toll to 659,012, the Ministry of Health said
Sunday.
