Cases of the virus continue to surge across the world with countries like UK reporting their highest daily cases since the virus was first recorded in their country.

The USA recorded 194,860 new cases of the virus to bring the total to 19, 9 million cases. Deaths recorded are now over 346,579. The US has found its first case of the COVID-19 variant that’s been seen in the United Kingdom and is thought to be more transmissible.

Deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean from COVID-19 topped 500 000 on Tuesday, and cases soared above 15 million amid holiday festivities, according to a Reuters tally of figures in official government reports.

More than a quarter of Latin America’s deaths were in Mexico, which, like Brazil, has struggled with a fresh wave of infections, with rising hospitalizations forcing Mexico City into a semi-lockdown. Regional health authorities have expressed concern about the impact of year-end celebrations on health systems that were stretched to the limit in mid-2020.

Brazil recorded 57,227 additional confirmed cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours and 1,075 deaths from Covid-19, the health ministry said. Brazil has registered more than 7.5 million cases of the virus since the pandemic began, while the official death toll has risen to 192,716 according to ministry data.

The United Kingdom recorded 53,135 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, breaking its daily record since the pandemic began for a second day in a row. An additional 414 people have died, according to the government’s dashboard. The previous highest record was reported on Monday when the UK reported 41,385 coronavirus cases and 357 deaths.
