WHO: COVID-19 deaths jump by 40%, but cases falling globally.
About 10 million new COVID-19 infections and more than 45,000 deaths were reported worldwide over the past week, following a 23% drop in fatalities the week before.
In addition, more than 4,000 deaths from Maharashtra state in India that initially weren’t included among the COVID-19 death toll were added last week, according to WHO.WHO has said repeatedly that COVID-19 case counts are likely a vast underestimate of the coronavirus’ prevalence. The agency cautioned countries in recent weeks against dropping their comprehensive testing and other, saying that doing so would cripple efforts to accurately track the spread of the virus.
The agency warned that less surveillance would particularly harm efforts to detect new COVID variants and undermine a potential response.
