COVID-19 Trends and Developments
- While the average number of new cases recorded globally each day over the past week stands around all-time highs (281,592 per day on average over the last seven days), the number of fatalities from COVID-19 hit its lowest point since June 7 on September 21, with 2,998 registered fatalities due to coronavirus on that day. This prompted the WHO to acknowledge on September 22 that while caseload increase remain high, the fatality rate from coronavirus continues to decline worldwide.
- Spain reported its highest number of new cases registered over a weekend period on record on September 21, with 31,428 new cases added to the total. Since Spain began reporting weekend case numbers on a Monday in early July, the previous high was 27,404 new cases on September 14.
- South Africa recorded its lowest daily new caseload since May 26 on September 21, with 725 added to the total. The country's new caseload on Mondays are usually lower than other days of the week. Nevertheless, the Sep 21 number still comes in below all previous Monday new case numbers since May 11, when 637 new cases were recorded.
