As of Monday morning (29th June 2020), more than 10.1 Million people have been infected with COVID-19 around the world. In the past few days, the crisis has deepened in the United States, where only two (2) States, Connecticut and Rhode Island, have recorded a recent decline in cases.
Meanwhile, more than 500,000 people have been killed by the disease globally - a quarter of them are Americans. This marks another bleak milestone in the Pandemic. The latest death toll stands at more than 502,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU), as cases continue to soar and outbreaks pop up in countries across the world. The United States has the highest confirmed fatality count, having recorded at least 125,800 deaths, according to JHU. A rise in cases was reported across a staggering 36 U.S States last week. Officials recorded 9,585 new cases on Saturday in Florida, a single-day record since the start of the Pandemic. On Sunday the State reported another 8,530 new cases. Weeks after many US states began reopening after lockdown, at least a dozen have halted their plans to further ease restrictions. Other countries which had begun to emerge from lockdown are also struggling as Officials grapple with local outbreaks. In China, around 400,000 people in Anxin County near Beijing have been placed under lockdown measures after a small increase in cases in the area. Elsewhere, India has recorded more than 100,000 new COVID-19 infections in the past six (6) days as cases surge across the country. Fears are mounting over the situation in Delhi where Hospitals are struggling with a shortage of medics and beds for patients. In Australia, authorities are trying to contain an outbreak in Victoria State. Health Officials recorded 75 positive results on Sunday, the State's largest single-daily increase in cases since 30th March 2020. In England, there is a reported cluster in the city of Leicester. A lawmaker representing the area has called for a local lockdown in the city. Authorities have recorded 866 COVID-19 cases over the past two (2) weeks. Cases also continue to rise in Latin America, one of the key drivers behind the record rise in global cases over the past several weeks. Brazil reported 30,476 new cases in 24 hours on Sunday. The country has recorded more than 1.3 Million cases, yet re-opening continues in cities including Rio de Janeiro. In Mexico, another 4,050 new cases were reported Sunday.
