KYW Medical Report: COVID-19 cases rising across the world

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — As more and more people get vaccinated, it's easy to overlook COVID-19 trends in the rest of the world. But if COVID-19 has taught us anything, it has driven home the point that all of us are connected.

Brazil continues to report the highest number of cases in the world. Despite recent optimism in our country, Brazil is closely followed by the U.S. Other countries leading with high cases include France, Italy and India.


Recently, we have seen jumps in cases in countries that were not impacted as greatly earlier in the pandemic, like Bangladesh with a 67% increase, Peru with 58%, and the Philippines with 51%.

The number of cases is rising in many South American countries too — Uruguay, Ecuador, Venezuela.

This is a worldwide battle, and the virus survives by infecting as many as possible.
