['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: None

The world wakes up shaken by the pandemic that does not stop the increase in numbers, both contagion and death. Among the latest news coming to our newsroom is that Japan plans to announce the state of emergency in the country in the next few hours, due to the advance of the coronavirus pandemic, according to local press. The measure is applied for the first time since the Second World War.

Of all the countries, 183 have a presence of the disease. The global data updated by Johns Hopkins University reflects the expansion of the coronavirus, more than 1.2 million cases are already registered, deaths exceed 70 thousand and those recovered exceed 270 thousand. Let’s see the data collected for this day.

The United States continues in the first position worldwide, today the numbers are alarming, with 337 thousand 933 reported confirmed infections and 9 thousand 653 deaths. Although the latter data could be higher, according to health authorities, as inconsistent protocols, limited resources, and a mosaic of inappropriate decision-making, show an insufficient count that fails to capture the true number of Americans who die from the disease. In second place is Spain, with 135 thousand 032 patients and 13 thousand 055 deaths. It is followed by Italy, which accounts for 128 thousand 948 cases and 15 thousand 887 deaths.

Germany continues in fourth place in the world, registering an accelerated growth of 100 thousand 132 infections and thousand 584 deaths. France displaced China and ranks fifth with 93,000 infected and 8,078 deaths. Let us now look at the behavior of numbers in the Americas … We have previously commented that the United States is the country with the highest incidence of the disease. Another territory where the numbers grow is Canada with 15 thousand 940 cases and 281 deaths.

South America registered accelerated increases in Covid-19 in the last few hours. Brazil is the nation with the highest number of patients, it already has 11,281 and 487 deaths. Chile follows with 4 thousand 471 cases and 34 deaths. In the Ecuador region, the numbers also increased worryingly, it has already reached 3,646 patients and 180 deaths, a fact that cannot be specified for certain, since a large number of people have died in their documents and have not been counted, according to local news.
