WHO has published its epidemiological update report.
Accordingly, over 1.4 million new cases of Covid-19 and over 1800 deaths from COVID-19 were reported during the 28-day period from July 31 to August 27.
Compared to the previous 28-day period, there was a 38 percent increase in cases and a 50 percent decrease in the death rate.
It is stated that the reported cases do not accurately reflect the infection rates due to the decrease in testing and reporting globally.
According to WHO data, more than 770 million cases of COVID-19 and 6 million 956 thousand deaths due to the epidemic were reported worldwide.
