With 566,224 deaths, the U.S. has the highest death toll, followed by Brazil with 368,749 and Mexico with 211,693.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday that the pandemic was at a “critical point” and warned that the world needed a check on reality. After a brief decline in March, the number of deaths worldwide is rising again, averaging approximately 12,000 deaths, approaching the 14,500 daily deaths (7-day rotating average) recorded at the end of January.
Countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have seen declining new daily deaths since late January due to vaccination campaigns, while India and Brazil are facing an unprecedented rise in infections. .
In Brazil, there are about 3,000 deaths every day, representing almost a quarter of the deaths reported daily in the world. The country has been the hardest hit in the world in terms of new daily deaths worldwide since early March.
The pandemic shows no signs of slowing down, as the 7-day average is approaching January’s all-time highs: more than 730,000 cases a day are reported this week.
With 234,692 new infections reported on Saturday, India has about three times the U.S. daily.
India also recorded 1,341 new deaths on Saturday, the highest death toll that was exceeded on June 17th. That day, June 17, a total of 2,003 deaths were recorded in a single day due to administrative errors that caused a delay.
