Global Scenario of COVID-19

 Global Scenario of  COVID-19

 

Covid-19 so far infected more than 89,242 people and spread in more than 69 countries and territories after first emerging in China late last year. The global death toll from the corona virus outbreak was exceeded 3,058 by Monday (i.e.20.03.2020). The South Korea has reported nearly 500 new cases of the disease. Similarly, Indonesia, so far has claimed to be virus-free but registered its first two cases on Monday.

 

Since, more than two months on, most of the cases and deaths are still confined to China, whose health commission has reported 202 new infections on Monday the lowest daily rise since late January and 42 new deaths. Hubei province, where the outbreak has been concentrated, recorded 196 of the 202 new cases.

 

Iran has the second highest number of deaths, with 55; Australia reported its first Covid-19 death over the weekend. Infections nearly doubled over the weekend in Italy with nearly 1,700 cases. The number of cases in the US rose to 88 with two deaths, both in Washington State.
