More than 11,343,890 cases of infection have been officially diagnosed in 196 countries and territories since the start of the epidemic, of which at least 5,906,500 are now considered cured. This number of diagnosed cases, however, only reflects a fraction of the actual number of infections. Some countries only test severe cases, others use testing as a priority for tracing, and many poor countries have only limited screening capacity.
Since the count made on Saturday evening, 4,205 new deaths and 182,459 new cases have been recorded worldwide. The countries with the most new deaths are Brazil with 1,091 new deaths, India (613) and Mexico (523).
