  • The U.S. is now recording more than 40,000 new cases on average over the last several days, a significant increase from case counts just a week ago, when the average was 30,000 new cases per day.

It should be noted that the spike in new cases is primarily among younger people, and there has not been a corresponding spike in deaths as a result.

World Cases 7.1.2020


OUTLOOK 

Brazil, Mexico, Russia, India and the U.S. continue to be global hotspots. In particular, Mexico, Brazil, and India have extremely low testing rates, indicating a much larger outbreak in their respective countries. Concerns remain that despite controlling the outbreak in parts of Europe and Asia, international travel will not resume due to out of control outbreaks in other parts of the world.
