The World Health Organization said the global COVID-19 case tally rose by 106,000 in the last 24 hours, the largest single-day jump in new cases since the pandemic began.
More COVID-19 cases have been reported to the World Health Organization in the last 24 hours than on any day since the pandemic began, the WHO's Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday.
"In the last 24 hours, there have been 106,000 cases reported to WHO –- the most in a single day since the outbreak began," Ghebreyesus said."We're very concerned about the rising numbers of cases in low- and middle-income countries." While the U.S., Russia and Brazil have in recent days been reporting higher case increases than any other nation, the WHO said countries like India and Bangladesh were in need of just as much attention and assistance. Though the 20,810 new cases in India and the 5,056 new cases in Bangladesh reported to the WHO this week are dwarfed by the number reported in a single day by the U.S.
