The number of people infected with Covid-19 increased by about a fifth around the world this week as the pandemic spread across the globe. According to Johns Hopkins University researchers, the global Covid death toll has surpassed 5.3 million, with a total of 5,386,666. During this time, 278 million people have been infected worldwide.

According to an AFP calculation through Thursday, the average number of new daily coronavirus cases increased by 18% over the previous week to more than 749,000. This is the 10th consecutive weekly increase. The greatest share flare-ups occurred in Oceania, where the number of cases more than doubled, and the America/Canada zone, where they increased by 55%.

In terms of geographical totals, Europe is now registering the most cases, with almost three million in the preceding week, accounting for 58 percent of the global total. Denmark continues to have the newest cases per 100,000 people, at 1,472 per 100,000 people, followed by the United Kingdom (990).

South Africa will discontinue contract tracking and will not quarantine people while it focuses on Covid-19 mitigation efforts, owing to the fact that up to 80% of the country’s population had previous infections that provide some immunity. Authorities in Africa’s most industrialized nation would conduct contract tracing only in cases of cluster outbreaks, according to a circular issued Thursday by the country’s Director-General of Health and confirmed by department spokesman Foster Mohale.

Countries throughout the world limited travel from southern Africa earlier this week as details of the outbreak emerged. This prompted South Africa’s foreign minister to claim that the country was being punished rather than praised for discovering Omicron. Later, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that blanket Covid measures were penalizing southern Africa. In what is currently the beginning of the fourth wave in South Africa, the incidence of a new infection is likely to rise, and the national health department reports a minor increase in hospital admissions.
