COVID-19 Trends and Developments
- The average daily increase in COVID-19 cases in France stands at 9,010 per day across the past seven days. This is the highest average daily increase across a weekly period on record in France, while the average daily death total over the past week has been 50 per day. This is the highest 7-day average daily fatality total since June 9.
- It is a similar scenario to France in the UK, which has recorded an average of 3,679 new coronavirus cases per day over the past week. This is the highest rate since June 5, and has sparked expectation of a raft of new restrictions across the UK in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. The number of new fatalities from COVID-19 remains relatively low, averaging 21 per day over the past week. However, this is the highest 7-day average since July 20.
- Unlike the European countries experiencing a second wave, some in Latin America are seeing their first wave of infections slowing. In Mexico the 7-day average increase in cases has fallen to its lowest level since June 11 on September 21 (although the number of new cases is still over 4,000). Meanwhile in Chile, the average number of fatalities per day from coronavirus has slowed to its lowest level since May 31 at 48 per day in the week up to September 20.
