‘Worrying sign’: Global coronavirus deaths rise for 1st time in 6 weeks
A top WHO expert on the coronavirus pandemic said Monday the
weekly global count of deaths from COVID-19 is rising again, a “worrying sign”
after about six weeks of declines.
Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead on COVID-19 at the U.N.
health agency, said the growth followed a fifth straight week of confirmed cases
increasing worldwide. She said the number of reported cases went up in four of
the WHO’s six regions, though there were significant variations within each
region.
The increase is due in part to the spread of a variant that
first emerged in Britain and is now circulating in many other places, including
eastern Europe, she said.
