Globally, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 have reached over 11,450,000, with over 535,000 deaths and 6,180,000 recoveries.
Cases have been rising rapidly in North and Latin America, with the US and Brazil contributing to the most of in the increase in the daily new cases.
In the majority of countries in Europe and Asia, daily confirmed cases continue to decrease.
However, cases in India are rising at the fastest pace in Asia with a record number of daily new cases.
South Africa has been the most heavily affected country in Africa by Covid-19.
Given that it is one of the most developed countries in Africa, its struggle to control the surge of new cases does not bode well for other African countries with far fewer resources than South Africa.
