The global number of new Covid-19 cases reported last week (19-25 July) was over 3.8 million, an 8 per cent increase as compared to the previous week, the UN health agency reported.

The latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO) showed a “substantial” uptick in the Americas and the Western Pacific, which jumped 30 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively.

An average of around 5,40,000 cases was reported globally each day over the past week as compared to 4,90,000 cases reported daily the week before.

The number of deaths reported this week increased sharply with over 69,000 deaths, a 21 per cent increase when compared to the previous week. The cumulative number of cases and deaths reported globally is almost 194 million and over 4 million respectively.

WHO said that over the seven days, the highest number of new cases was reported in the United States, which saw more than half a million new infections, representing a skyrocketing 131 per cent increase.

Of the four Covid-19 mutations that WHO has designated “variants of concern”, the UN agency said that the Alpha variant is present in 182 countries, Beta is in 131, Gamma in 81 and after reaching eight new countries in the past week, the Delta variant is now in 132 countries
