Coronavirus cases are in the alarming rise as Thursday alone recorded 150,000 new cases, the highest number registered on a single day, and America claims almost half of the pie, as reportedly said by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
"The world is during a new and dangerous phase," Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was recorded saying through a virtual briefing from WHO headquarters in Geneva. "The virus is spreading fast, it's still deadly, and most of the people are still susceptible."
Tedros, whose WHO leadership has been precisely questioned by U.S. President Donald Trump, urged people to take care of social distancing.
Along with the Americas, massive data of latest cases were recorded from South Asia, and majorly the Middle East, Tedros added.
Mike Ryan, the WHO emergency expert, underlined Brazil, where he said 1,230 additional COVID-19 fatalities were counted within the previous 24 hours.
Health care workers sum up about 12% of infections in Brazil he shared, praising their bravery.
Outside the US, Brazil has the world's worst outbreak, with 978,142 confirmed cases and 47,748 deaths.
Ryan urged a gradual and scientific approach to the nations that are easing restrictions but scared of the second wave of infections, .

"Exiting lockdowns must be done carefully, during a step-wise manner, and must be driven by the info," Ryan was quoted as saying. "If you do not know where it's the probabilities are the virus will surprise you."

Ryan said the resurgence of the latest clusters didn't necessarily mean a second wave, while "second peaks" were also possible in one wave. The emergency expert praised Germany, China, and South Korea for his or her handling of the pandemic. WHO officials warned that large-scale testing would be needed with side-effects carefully monitored.
"Although it's not impossible to seek out a vaccine ... it's getting to be a really difficult journey," Tedros reportedly said.
