Global COVID-19 cases cross 200 million as Delta variant spreads
COVID-19 cases worldwide surpassed 200 million on Wednesday, according to a Reuters tally, as the more-infectious Delta variant threatens areas with low vaccination rates and strains healthcare systems.
The global surge in cases highlights the widening gap in inoculation rates between wealthy and poor nations.
It took over a year for COVID-19 cases to hit the 100 million mark, while the next 100 million were reported in just over six months, according to the analysis. The pandemic has left close to 4.4 million people dead.
