Weather of Arabia - Corona virus infection worldwide exceeded ten million cases on Sunday, in a milestone in the spread of the disease that affects the respiratory system and caused the deaths of about half a million people over the course of the pandemic, according to Reuters
The figure is almost twice the number of people with severe flu every year, according to WHO data.
Some countries are witnessing new mutations in the spread of infection that have prompted the authorities to partially re-impose restrictions on public isolation in a situation that experts have described as a frequent pattern in the coming months to 2021.
In North America, Latin America, and Europe, the injuries are about 75% of the total, with almost equal proportions between the three regions, while Asia and the Middle East account for about 11% and 9%, respectively, according to a Reuters count that relies on government reports.
The death toll from the virus has now reached more than 497,000 people, which is almost the same as the annual number of deaths from the flu.
The first cases of the disease were announced in Wuhan, China, on January 10, 2019, before the outbreaks and deaths spread to Europe, the United States, and Russia.
The epidemic has now entered a new stage in which India and Brazil record more than 10,000 cases a day, which places great pressure on resources, and these countries have registered more than a third of all new infections in the past seven days.
The United States, which recorded more than 2.5 million cases of infection in the world's largest toll, managed to slow the spread of the virus in May but has seen a new outbreak in recent weeks in rural areas and other places not reached before the epidemic.
