GENEVA: The World Health Organisation on Sunday, June 21, recorded the biggest single day spike in global coronavirus cases. 183,020 people were detected as positive to the COVID-19 infection in the past 24-hour period.
WHO reported that the highest increase in numbers was from Brazil with 54,771 corona cases, followed by the US with 36,617 cases and over 15,400 came in India. Rise in the number of cases could indicate multiple factors including more widespread testing as well as broader infection. Total global cases are over 8.7 million with more than 461,000 deaths, with a daily increase of 4,743. More than two-thirds of those new deaths were reported in the Americas.
India crossed the 4-lakh mark on Sunday with the biggest single-day spike of 15,413 new infections, while the death toll rose to 13,254 with 306 new fatalities. India has been recording record single-day spikes for the past four days and the jump of 15,413 cases took India’s case load to 4,10,461. India is the fourth worst-hit nation by the pandemic after the US, Brazil and Russia.
