Of every 10,000 people in Europe, 127 fell ill and four died, according to Reuters statistics, and in the United States 278 were infected and seven out of every 10,000 of the population died.

Within the region, Eastern Europe has recorded nearly a third of all COVID-19 cases, the highest number of cases. While southern Europe leads the number of deaths, about 32 percent of all Corona virus-related deaths on the continent, according to a Reuters analysis.

And Russia is the worst affected country in Eastern Europe, with 1.6 million people infected.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova said on Wednesday that hospitals had reached 90 percent of their capacity in 16 regions of the country.

Across Europe, governments are coming under fire for a lack of coordination and their inability to take advantage of the summer slump in new infections to bolster defenses, leaving hospitals unprepared.

Last month, Asia and Latin America combined 10 million cases, with the United States alone registering 9 million, according to an analysis by Reuters.

Europe, where it lives, accounts for ten percent of the world’s population, about 22 percent of the total number of infections caused by coronavirus infection in the world.

The continent, which has seen 269,000 deaths, accounts for 23 percent of the world’s total pandemic-related deaths of around 1.2 million.

Portugal imposed partial isolation measures, while Italy and Spain tightened restrictions.
