Jun 29, 2020
Global cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, have surpassed 10,000,000 globally as the US cases spike, according to data analyzed from Johns Hopkins University .
There have been 10,039,286 diagnosed cases of COVID-19 and 499,599 deaths from the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University tally on Sunday.
More than 25% of the global cases come from the US, according to the Johns Hopkins Data, as there have been at least 2,530,587 cases confirmed as of Saturday. In the US, 125,630 people have died from COVID-19, also about 25% of the global total.
The United States accounts for the majority of global cases of the virus. Brazil is second to the US with 1,313,667 confirmed COVID-19 cases , according to Johns Hopkins data. By the end of next month, Brazil could surpass the US in the number of positive cases of the novel coronavirus. China, where the disease was first discovered and where citizens underwent strict government-imposed months-long lockdowns , has reported 84,745 cases.
In recent weeks, cases in the US have spiked as new epicenters have emerged particularly in heavily populated areas in southern states. As The Washington Post noted Saturday, Texas, Florida, and Arizona have emerged as new epicenters, repeatedly breaking their own records for the number of observed single-day increases and experiencing increases in hospitalizations related to the virus.
