The world saw the largest single-day increase in coronavirus cases on Sunday, with more than 183,000 new cases being reported in a 24-hour period.
As The Associated Press reported, the World Health Organization said that Brazil saw the largest increase on Sunday with 54,771 news cases being reported, followed by the United States with 36,617 new cases. India saw 15,400 new reported cases.
The agency noted that more than two-thirds of new deaths reported on Saturday came in the Americas, pushed largely by the increases seen in the United States and Brazil.
The increase comes as many countries have moved away from the more strict lockdown measures put in place earlier in the year. The report noted that Spain ended its national state of emergency, allowing its 47 million residents to freely travel around the country for the first time since March 14. A number of American states have also loosened restrictions, allowing non-essential businesses to reopen and permitting some small gatherings of people.
