Covid-19 Factoid: For 5 states, half their cases are in just one district

Even as the daily global death toll has nearly halved, Brazil is witnessing a second wave of coronavirus cases, and in India at least 5 states have the bulk of their cases in just one district each

The global number of confirmed cases has now crossed the three-million mark, and the death toll stands at 207,895. A little less than 30 per cent of all confirmed coronavirus cases have now recovered. In a positive trend, the proportion of fatalities in total closed cases has fallen a little – from 20 per cent since the start of this month to 19 per cent now.

In India, there now are 27,977 confirmed cases of coronavirus, and the number of deaths is close to the 900 mark. Almost 23 per cent of all reported cases have been cured so far.
