The overall number of Covid cases has now surpassed 491
million amid a rise in new infections in parts of the world.
According to Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the total case
count mounted to 491,352,180 while the death toll from the virus reached 6,152,703
Monday morning.
The US has recorded 80,155,397 cases so far and 982,565
people have died from the virus in the country, the university data shows.
The prevalence of COVID-19 in the U.K. has reached record
levels, with about 1 in 13 people estimated to be infected with the virus in
the past week, according to the latest figures from Britain’s official
statistics agency, reports AP.
Some 4.9 million people were estimated to have the
coronavirus in the week ending March 26, up from 4.3 million recorded in the
previous week, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. The latest surge
is driven by the more transmissible omicron variant BA.2, which is the dominant
variant across the U.K.
Hospitalizations and death rates are again rising, although
the number of people dying with COVID-19 is still relatively low compared with
earlier this year. Nonetheless, the latest estimates suggest that the steep
climb in new infections since late February, when British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson scrapped all remaining coronavirus restrictions in England, has
continued well into March.
India's COVID-19 tally rose to 43,028,131 on Sunday, as

Besides, as many as 81 deaths due to the pandemic were
reported since Saturday morning, taking the total death toll to 521,345.
