Health

The number of new Coronvirus cases and deaths globally have dropped in the past week, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stressed.

After the increase observed during the first half of March 2022, the number of new COVID-19 cases has decreased for a second consecutive week, with a 16% decline during the week from 28 March through 3 April, 2022 as compared to the previous week, the WHO said in its weekly report published on its website.

The number of new weekly deaths also decreased sharply (-43%) as compared to the previous week, during which an artificial spike in deaths was observed.

Across the six WHO regions, over nine million new cases and over 26 000 new deaths were reported, and all the regions show decreasing trends both in the number of new weekly cases and new weekly deaths.

 As of 3 April 2022, just over 489 million cases and over 6 million deaths have been reported globally.
