The World Health Organization (WHO) has again registered a record number of newly reported corona cases within one day. Worldwide, 307,930 new infections were last reported within 24 hours, according to WHO data published on Sunday. This is about 1000 cases more than the latest peak one week ago.

This means that since the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen became known at the end of last year, more than 28.6 million infections have been reported worldwide. According to experts, however, the number of unreported cases is considerable. The front-runners among the new cases in absolute numbers are India, the USA and Brazil. Spain is in fourth place with around 12,000 new infections within one day.
