The World Health Organisation says the Covid-19 situation is worsening worldwide.
Director-general Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus announced Monday that almost seven million cases of Covid-19 have now been reported to WHO, and almost 400,000 deaths.
He said that although the situation in Europe is improving, globally it is worsening with more than 100 000 cases reported on nine of the past 10 days.
He said more than 136 000 cases were reported on Sunday, the most in a single day so far.
He said 75 percent of cases reported on Sunday were from ten countries, mostly in the Americas and South Asia.
In South Africa, the death toll has surpassed a thousand and is currently standing at 1 080.
