The World Health Organization said that “cases in Europe continue to decline” during a briefing Wednesday.
“Yesterday saw the fewest cases reported in Europe since the 22nd of March,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
Though Tedros added, WHO is “especially worried” about Central and South America where “many countries are witnessing accelerating epidemics.”
“More than 100,000 cases of Covid-19 have been reported to WHO for each of the past five days. The Americas continues to account for the most cases,” Tedros said.
“For several weeks, the number of cases reported each day in the Americas has been more than the rest of the world put together,” Tedros said.
He added WHO is also seeing an increase of cases in the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and Africa.
