Hyderabad: The coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 2,10,68,957 and killed over 7,52,721 people across the world. More than 1,38,96,269 people have recovered so far.
Texas is reporting fewer than 7,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients for the first time in six weeks.
Mexico has passed the half-million mark in confirmed coronavirus cases.
Experts agree that due to Mexico’s extremely low testing rates, those numbers are undercounted and that the real figures maybe two to three times higher. With only about 1.15 million tests conducted to date in a country of almost 130 million people, less than 1 per cent of Mexicans have been tested.
China has reported another eight cases of locally transmitted coronavirus infections, all in the northwestern region of Xinjiang where the country’s last major outbreak has been largely contained.
Officials said Friday that 22 other new cases were brought from outside the country by Chinese travellers returning home.
