Coronavirus Record numbers of infections in many countries – Record number of coronary infections per week worldwide

In many countries recorded new daily records of coronary virus infection on Tuesday.

In Europe, at least in France, Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus and Malta, new infection records were recorded on Tuesday, Reuters reports. Similarly, a record of infection was recorded in Switzerland during the last day.

The infection situation has also worsened in Denmark. According to the news agency AFP, among others, Denmark currently has the highest number of confirmed coronary infections in the world in terms of population size. There was also a new infection record on Tuesday, 23,228 new infections.

In France 208,000 new infections have been confirmed.

French Minister for Health Olivier Véran said at a parliamentary hearing that the number of infections in recent days could no longer be called a wave but a landslide. According to Véran, tens of percent of French people have been in contact with someone who has been infected. Véran said the situation is already such that vaccinations do not provide adequate protection.

“The virus circulation is too intense,” Véran said.

Bloody warned on Monday that as many as 250,000 infections could be diagnosed in France every day in early January.

Stateside a record number of new coronavirus infections have been confirmed, says Johns Hopkins University. The university says more than 265,000 new coronavirus infections had been diagnosed on Tuesday, according to a seven-day average calculator it maintained.

The previous record was nearly 252,000 infections in mid-January this year.

U.S. Centers for Disease CDC spokesman Jasmine Reed said earlier Politiconews site that high rates of infection in the U.S. are due to delayed reporting and the number of cases will level off at the turn of the year.

In Australia, 18,300 new infections were diagnosed on Wednesday, covering Tuesday’s record infection rate of 11,300 infections.

Globally a record number of coronavirus infections have been reported in the last seven days, according to the AFP news agency.

An average of 935,000 corona infections were diagnosed daily from Wednesday last week to yesterday. A total of 6.55 million infections were diagnosed.

AFP monitoring figures are based on figures published daily by national health authorities.

In reality, however, the number of infections may be higher. A large proportion of mild or asymptomatic infections go undetected despite extensive testing. Testing practices also vary from country to country.

Of the week the figures are the highest since the new coronavirus was first detected in late 2019. The figures far exceed the previous record at the end of April, when an average of 817,000 infections were diagnosed worldwide each week.

The majority of infections have been reported in Europe. In the last week, more than 3.5 million infections have been diagnosed in Europe, an average of more than 510,000 every day. No more than 300,000 infections a day have been reported in Europe in the past.

Worldwide infections have increased since mid-October. Compared to the previous seven-day period, growth was now 37 percent.

“The rapid growth rate is likely due to a combination of circumvention of immunity and substantially increased infectivity of the omicron transformation,” the World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday.

According to the WHO, the risk of omicron transformation remains high.

So far, the explosive growth of infections has not led to an increase in coronavirus-related deaths. Corona deaths have been on the decline for the past three weeks.

Corona deaths have been reported at an average of about 6,450 cases per day in the past week, the lowest number since the end of October last year.

WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warns of the collapse of health care systems.

Tedros says the tsunami-spreading of coronavirus omicron and delta variants will further increase the exhaustion of health care workers. Therefore, the entire health care system is in danger of collapsing.
