Global COVID-19 Tracker – September 16

by Tom Lake

Editor's Note: The next Global COVID-19 tracker will be published on September 21.

COVID-19 Trends and Developments

  • Following a day in which Indian authorities did not release a report on the country's new caseload, on September 16 the country registered a record increase of 173,932 cases. It should be noted, though, that this figure takes into account new cases from September 14 and 15. Nevertheless, the increase took India above 5 million confirmed cases so far. The counting of two days of case growth in India on September 15 also means the global recorded increase in cases came in at a record 380,492 on September 15.
  • The total number of individuals that have recovered from COVID-19 worldwide crossed the 20 million mark on September 16. With 29.5mn confirmed cases, and around 935,000 fatalities from coronavirus, the recovery of 20mn individuals would seem to confirm there are around 8.5m active recorded cases at present (n.b. the actual total is impossible to determine, with some countries not reporting recovery numbers).
  • The United States recorded its highest number of new cases in just over a month, with the 52,081 new cases added on September 15 last exceeded on August 14. On the same day the US registered its highest number of COVID-19 fatalities since August 12, with 1,422 added to the total on September 15.
