There are more than 25 million officially registered coronavirus cases in the world – this is what emerges from the Johns Hopkins University data. According to the American university, the number of victims of global contagion is now 25,029,791, including 842,992 deaths.
The United States remains the most affected country, with 5,961,884 infections and 182,785 deaths. Brazil follows with 3,846,153 cases and 120,262 deaths. India fell to third place quickly, with 3,542,733 infections and 63,498 deaths.
Six months after identifying its first case of Covid-19, Brazil reached the threshold of 120,000 deaths on Saturday night. Unlike Europe and Asia, where pollution and death curves increased rapidly before declining after several weeks of lockdown, Brazil appears to have been stuck on an infinite plateau for three months, with around 1,000 deaths per day and many disparities between regions.
Argentina surpassed the threshold of 400,000 Covid-19 infections on Saturday, registering a record 9,230 new cases in 24 hours and 82 deaths. This was announced by the Ministry of Health. The balance of the epidemic in the South American country, which has 44 million inhabitants, is 401,226 cases, including 8,353 deaths. The Argentine government announced two days ago the extension until September 20 of some containment measures. President Alberto Fernández has expressed concern about the rapid increase in cases in some regions of the country, particularly in the Jujuy province (north), where “the health system is at its limit,” he said.
India recorded 78,761 new coronavirus infections in 24 hours, the world’s highest daily increase so far. The United States had set the previous record on July 17 with 77,638 cases per day.
Coronavirus cases in Iran have risen in the past 24 hours by 1,754, bringing the total to 373,570. This was announced by the spokesman for the Ministry of Health. “So far 21,462 people have died, of which 103 in the last 24 hours,” added Sima Lari. Among the 3,759 infected there are patients in intensive care and another 321,421 have recovered. The information was obtained from 3,207,269 tests carried out in the country.
