Colombo (LNW): The number of new cases positive for Covid-19 has increased by 80 per cent around the world, disclosed the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The new reading appears despite the WHO’s previous declaration in May that the pandemic was no longer a global health emergency.
The continuous prevalence of the virus leading to mutation was already warned upon, and about 1.5 million new infections were discovered from July 10 to August 06, indicating a rise in the prevalence of about 80 per cent.
