World-wide COVID-19 cases rise for 2nd straight week, deaths fall==WHO

Wed, 2022-03-23 09:17 — mike kraft
WHO: COVID-19 cases rise for 2nd straight week, deaths fall The number of new coronavirus cases globally increased by 7% in the last week, driven by rising infections in the Western Pacific, even as reported deaths from COVID-19 fell, the World Health Organization said. Confirmed cases of the virus had been falling steadily worldwide since January but rose again last week, due to the more infectious omicron variant and the suspension of COVID-19 protocols in numerous countries in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
