The United Nations organization received a notification of 660,905 injured on Saturday.
The previous record was recorded on Friday, which amounted to 645,410 injured, and earlier on November 7, which was 614,013 injured.
The organization’s affiliate in the Americas also recorded a record number of injuries on Saturday, reaching 269,225 new confirmed injuries.
The figures published by the World Health Organization tend to rise on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, while they decrease on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
According to the organization’s total figures, it counted more than 53.7 million confirmed cases since the outbreak of the epidemic, which also killed more than 1.3 million people.
For his part, the director general of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned on Friday that there is still a “long way to go” before controlling the emerging corona virus around the world.
For the first time, the WHO recorded more than 9,500 deaths in three consecutive days: 9,928 Thursdays, 9,567 Fridays and 9,924 Saturdays.
Thursday’s death toll is the highest since 10,012 deaths were recorded on Aug. 15, and the third-highest daily death toll since the start of the pandemic.
On Friday, Ghebreyesus said: “No country can say that it is sufficiently prepared to face Covid-19,” and requested that every “scientific progress” be of interest to all countries, emphasizing that the virus could be contained even in absence of a vaccine, provided that the appropriate measures are taken.
