Global coronavirus cases pass 27 million

More than 27 million people worldwide have been infected with the coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU), which has been monitoring the development of the COVID-19 pandemic for a long time.

The United States is the hardest-hit country, followed by India, which has surpassed Brazil’s confirmed cases.

The United States now has about 6.3 million infections, India 4.2, and Brazil 4.13 million.

The United States is also a sad leader in terms of deaths. One hundred eighty-nine thousand one hundred twenty-two people succumbed to the complications accompanying COVID-19, there are 126,650 of them in Brazil and 71,642 in India. The total balance of victims is already 890,220.

According to JHU, the limit of 26 million infected fell on September 3.

A new type of coronavirus appeared at the end of last year in Hubei’s central Chinese province. From there, in the following months, it spread throughout the world, which now faces not only a health crisis but also an economic downturn.

In Brazil, there were 10,273 coronavirus-infected people on the last day, and another 310 patients succumbed to the complications of COVID-19. According to Reuters, the health authorities informed about it on Monday.
