Statistics for Reuters showed that about 40 countries in the world have recorded record increases in the number of new infections with the new Corona virus over the past seven days, which is almost twice the number compared to the previous week, indicating that the pandemic is spreading faster in all regions of the world.

Health experts and officials say the true numbers of both infections and deaths are much greater than reported, especially in countries with modest health systems.
Usually, an increase in the number of cases is monitored two weeks before the increase in the number of deaths.
