The biggest increases were from India, the United States and Brazil, according to the agency’s website. Deaths rose by 5 537 to a total of 917 417.

COVID-19 infections are still rising in 58 countries, including surges in Argentina, Indonesia, Morocco, Spain and Ukraine, according to a Reuters analysis.
