secondFrom the beginning Coronavirus pandemic The number of infections found worldwide has increased to more than 200 million. This is based on data from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA on Wednesday. In just six months since January 26, the number of known infections has increased by 100 million. Currently, the number of confirmed deaths from coronavirus infections worldwide is 4.25 million, twice the number at the end of January. Experts assume that the number of unreported infections and deaths is higher worldwide.
The university’s website regularly updates the incoming data and shows a level slightly higher than the official data of the World Health Organization (WHO). However, in some cases, the numbers have also been revised downwards. As of Wednesday, WHO has counted 199.5 million confirmed infections and nearly 4.25 million deaths. According to the World Health Organization, the number of coronavirus vaccines currently inoculated globally is approximately 4 billion.
Recently, the number of new infections confirmed in many parts of the world has rapidly risen again, and experts mainly attribute it to the spread of the particularly contagious Delta variant. According to the latest weekly report of WHO, the number of new infections in the world has exceeded 500,000 every day recently.
Mostly confirmed Infect So far, the United States has a population of 35 million, and this country has approximately 330 million inhabitants.

This is followed by Brazil (20 million) and Russia and France (about 6.25 million each). According to data from Johns Hopkins University, there are nearly 3.8 million confirmed Sars-CoV-2 infections in Germany.
