The world passed Sunday the milestone of 10 million officially diagnosed cases of the new coronavirus testifying to an acceleration of the pandemic, especially in the Americas, against a background of fears of a “second wave” and measures of partial containment. In Morocco, the coronavirus contamination assessment shows that Sunday June 28 at 10 a.m., 11,986 confirmed cases, 7 new healings, for a total of 8,730 and no new deaths, for a total of 220.
Hespress monitoring and follow-up platform, covid.hespress.com/fr, details that Morocco now has 11,986 confirmed cases, 220 deaths (a mortality rate of 1.84%), 8,730 cures, 627,958 cases excluded after negative laboratory tests (an increase of 6,341), and 3,036 case being treated.
Worldwide, the number of cases reported worldwide has doubled since May 21 and more than a million new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in the past 6 days alone. 94 days had passed between the announcement of the first case in China and the identification of a million infections worldwide.
The United States crossed 2.5 million cases on Saturday, and on the same day India passed the 500,000 mark, with a record of some 18,500 cases in one day. The Indian giant is expected to pass the million mark in July, according to epidemiologists.
All of these reports, however, only reflect a fraction of the actual number of contaminations. The American Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) estimate the order of 10 times the number of Americans having been infected, that is to say more than 20 million people, which represents between 5 and 8% of population.
Contagion is spreading in 30 of the 50 American states, especially in the largest and most populated in the south and west: California, Texas and Florida.
Latin America and the Caribbean are still the part of the world where the disease is progressing most rapidly: from June 21 to 27, the region recorded 408,401 new cases, compared to 253,624 in the United States and Canada and 121,824 in Europe.
The increase in the region (2,432,558 cases including 110,695 deaths in total) is largely linked to the increase in cases in Brazil (1,313,667 cases including 246,088 new in the last seven days), but also in Peru (275,989 , 24,651 new), Chile (267,766, 31,018), Mexico (212.802, 37,600 new) and Colombia (88,592, 22,959 new).
Asia seems to see an increase in the number of daily cases of Covid-19, now driven by the sustained spread of the disease in India (528,859 cases including 118,398 in the last seven days), Pakistan (202,955, 26,338 new) and Bangladesh (137,787, 25,481 new).
In Europe, the number of new infections identified daily has stabilized for more than a month at less than 20,000 new cases reported each day, but WHO is concerned about an acceleration of contamination in eleven countries in the region. Ukraine notably recorded 1,109 cases on Friday, a record described by the authorities as a “serious wave”.
