South America Brazil, the cumulative number of corona19 patients exceeded 670,000.

It is the second largest in the world after 2 million people in the United States.

Since April, when confirmatory patients have started to surge, 20 people have been infected almost every minute.

Saudi Arabia yesterday (7 days), a total of 3,45 confirmed patients were confirmed.

The cumulative confirmatory number is about 101,000, the largest in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health has re-enforced containment measures, including curfew orders, in some cities on the 6th.

In Italy, the number of confirmers has increased again since most schools resumed classroom instruction on the 17th of last month.

Once again, the number of new confirmed persons, which had been reduced to less than 30, increased to around 200.

As school confirmation continued, 106 schools were closed again, and 330 teachers were infected.

The cumulative number of confirmed patients in the world has exceeded 7 million.

In particular, more than 1 million people increased in just one week after surpassing 6 million on the 31st of last month.

The number of deaths is 400,000.

Reuters reported that in many countries there was a lack of equipment to screen for fatalities, and in some countries only those who died in hospitals were counted, so the actual number of deaths would be higher.
