**OUTLOOK**

Brazil, Mexico, Russia and the U.S. continue to be global hotspots. In particular, Mexico's testing rate is 20x lower than in the U.S. and 2x lower than in Brazil, indicating a much bigger outbreak is likely in the country. Concerns remain over second wave outbreaks in countries initially hit by the pandemic, such as Iran and Japan. All eyes are on Europe as many countries open their borders to intra-European travel in hopes of spurring tourism.
