Global Covid-19 cases cross 39.5 million

The global coronavirus caseload now stands at 39.5 million cases, according to the latest updates provided by Johns Hopkins University. According to the University tracker, there are 39,502,909 Covid-19 cases globally and 1,106,705 patients globally have succumbed to the virus. Globally, 27,148,927 patients infected from the virus have recovered, the tracker states. The US continues to be the worst-affected country due to the virus with 8,086,780 cases and 218,980 fatalities, which are the most deaths in the world.
Daily cases have been falling in India after peaking on September 17, when over 98,000 cases were recorded. The US appears to be in the midst of a third wave of the pandemic.
It seems likely that the US will continue to log the highest number of daily cases over the next few days, with a few exceptions now and then. That’s because cases in the US have been on the rise again over the past month while the count has been steadily decreasing in India.
In cumulative caseload, the US continues to lead the world with more than 8.3 million cases so far. India holds the second spot with nearly 7.5 million cases.
