COVID-19 Trends and Developments
- Argentina's COVID-19 caseload increased by a record 12,027 on September 9. This pushed the country's total number of COVID-19 cases registered so far above the half million mark. The virus has now spread from the capital Buenos Aires to other more rural provinces where the health systems are less able to cope with a widespread outbreak of the disease. Argentina also recorded the highest number of COVID-19 fatalities per capita worldwide on September 8.
- The UK recorded its third consecutive day of new coronavirus cases in excess of 2,000. This is the first such occurence of three 2k+ cases in a day since May 22. The rise in cases has sparked the UK government to ban meetings of more than six people in social settings from September 14 onwards, despite an ongoing drive to encourage individuals to return to their place of work and support the economy.
- The average number of COVID-19 fatalities per day across the past week in Mexico stands at its lowest level since June 3, but in the context of deaths from the disease in Mexico on September 8 remaining in the top 10 most severely hit countries worldwide. The average number of new cases registered per day has remained relatively steady around 5,000-5,500 per day since mid-August.
