Globally, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 have reached over 22,442,000 with over 788,000 deaths and 14,349,000 recoveries.

Across the globe, Covid-19 total confirmed cases continue to increase, with the US, Brazil and India still taking the lead as the most heavily affected countries worldwide.

In the US, although daily confirmed cases continue to decrease nationally, the number of deaths continue to climb, with Florida now the 5th State to report 10,000 deaths.

Russia is ranked 4th in the list of most heavily affected countries worldwide, however, they appear to be controlling the virus as evidenced by a decrease in daily confirmed cases over the past three months.

A resurgence of cases in Japan has resulted in a second wave much larger than the first.
