Daily new coronavirus cases globally dropped last week for the second consecutive week, reversing the short-term trend of an increasing number of confirmed cases. It is estimated that 67% of the world’s population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccination, while approximately 7.4% of the global population is confirmed to have contracted the virus at some time, although the true number is highly likely to be much larger.
Total confirmed new coronavirus cases worldwide stand at over 584.3 million with an average case fatality rate of 1.10%. The rate of new coronavirus infections appears to now be most significantly increasing in Iran, Japan, South Korea, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia.
