The United States and Brazil accounted for half of the new daily coronavirus cases as countries across the globe struggle to contain their outbreaks, the World Health Organization said Monday.
The U.S. and Brazil reported 111,319 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, roughly half of all the new cases disclosed to health authorities worldwide, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
“Let me be blunt, too many countries are headed in the wrong direction,” Tedros said at a news conference from the agency’s Geneva headquarters.
