Fresh data provided by the Johns Hopkins University has revealed that more than 7.36 million people across the globe have now been confirmed to have COVID-19<\/a> and at least 416,000 have died from the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came after the total number of US COVID-19 cases surpassed two million with over 113,000 deaths, with Ashish Jha, the head of Harvard\u2019s Global Health Institute, stating in an interview with CNN that the US may see 200,000 deaths because of the virus at some point in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related development, the cases of COVID-19 in Latin America reached a grim new milestone on Wednesday with total deaths exceeding 70,000, according to a Reuters count, as Mexico hit a daily record for confirmed infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil, with the largest economy in the region, remains Latin America\u2019s most affected country as total fatalities are just shy of 40,000, the world\u2019s third highest death toll after the United States and Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the region\u2019s second biggest country, Mexico, a new daily record<\/a> of 4,883 confirmed cases was reported by the health ministry, along with 708 additional fatalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
