Trends in New cases worldwide

Total global new cases today were: +- 135 000 taking the 7 day average to around 126 000

An increase in new cases today, mainly due to bigger numbers in South America. In Europe figures were little changed, with the UK dropping to 1003. In the Southern Hemisphere sub group, Australia recorded 9 new cases, South Africa increased to 2430 and remained 11th in world rank order. New Zealand recorded its twentieth 0 in a row.
