Globally, the number of weekly COVID-19 cases and deaths have increased slightly during the past few weeks, with nearly 3 million infections and over 49,000 new fatalities.
New Delhi: Even as the COVID-19 situation in India seems to be under control and the daily number of new infections is on a declining trend, the threat of third wave hitting the country soon looms large amid a record surge in coronavirus cases in several countries across the globe.
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), the global number of cases and deaths from COVID-19 is now increasing for the first time in two months. In a media briefing on COVID-19 on October 28, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that it's another reminder that the 'COVID-19 pandemic is far from over'.
The WHO Chief said that unless the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled everywhere, the virus will mutate and continue to circulate everywhere.
