That shatters the high of 9.5 million cases set a week earlier, Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on covid-19, said in a video Q&A. This week’s infection counts were so high, the organization had to adjust the scale on the graph it has used for two years to fit the new peak.
“That shows you just how widespread the infection is right now,” said Mike Ryan, emergencies chief for the WHO. “And that’s in the context of very limited availability of tests.”
