The World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Tuesday that this is last week when more cases of coronavirus have been reported worldwide since the outbreak of the pandemic. Europe is, for the second consecutive week, the continent with the most new positive ones.

These data are "the shortest interval for exponential growth since the beginning of the pandemic" and the number of deaths "can be compared with the one recorded in the previous weeks", he added.

Between 19 and 25 October, 2,884,604 new positive people were detected and 39,712 people lost their lives as a result of the disease. This means that the number of reported cases has increased 16 per cent over the previous week and 8 per cent over mortality.

For the second consecutive week, the Agency stresses that Europe has seen the highest growth in cases, with more than EUR 1.3 million (33%). "Almost half of the new cases that have occurred this week around the world," highlighted the OMS.Por other side, the number of deaths continues to rise in the old continent, with an increase of 35%.

Behind Europe are the United States and Latin America, among the areas of the world with the most cases of Ebola infection. In contrast, in Southeast Asia, cases and deaths continue to decline, and also in the Pacific, there has been a decline in cases in the past seven days.

The countries with the highest number of cases reported in the last week are the same as in the previous three weeks: India, United States, France, Brazil and United Kingdom.

According to cumulative data, the number of coronavirus cases in the world is around 44 million and deaths from disease are already over 1.15 million.
