The world registered a new record for daily cases of coronavirus, with 3.8 million infections

The world recorded 3.84 million new cases of coronavirus COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, a new record despite the fact that the contagion curve seems to indicate that the wave associated with omicron is slowing down, according to provisional figures from the World Health Organization (WHO).

In none of the previous waves had there been more than a million daily cases, a figure that has almost quadrupled today, which shows the exponential progress of the omicron variant, although cases are growing more slowly (5% last week vs. 20% last week and 55% last week).

In the accumulated two-year pandemic, the cases confirmed by the WHO amount to 356 million (equivalent to 5% of the world population), while more than 5.6 million people have died.

90% of the COVID-19 cases analyzed in the GISAID global laboratory network, associated with the WHO, already detect the omicron variant, while the delta variant, which was dominant in 2021, concentrates the rest and continues to decline.

The current wave of infections has not been accompanied by more deaths, although 9,000 were confirmed last day, a figure slightly higher than the average of the last three months, which ranges between 5,000 and 8,000 deaths per day.
