WHO Records Highest Daily Number Of COVID-19 Cases
An elderly lady who had been affected by the new COVID-19 coronavirus is discharged from hospital, in Santiago, on May 18, 2020. Martin BERNETTI / AFPThe World Health Organization said Wednesday it had registered a new daily record number of COVID-19 cases as it quickly neared the “tragic milestone” of five million total infections.
The Geneva-based WHO’s coronavirus disease dashboard said that on Tuesday, 106,662 confirmed cases had been reported to the agency from around the world. More than 4.9 million cases of the novel coronavirus have been registered in total since the outbreak first emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP.
The WHO’s annual gathering of member states agreed Tuesday to an independent probe into the UN agency’s coronavirus response amid mounting US criticism over its handling of the pandemic. Pressed on the ultimatum, Tedros said only: “We have received the letter and we are looking into it.” And Brazil’s health ministry recommended Wednesday using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat even mild cases of COVID-19 — treatments President Jair Bolsonaro has pushed for despite the lack of conclusive evidence of their effectiveness.
