The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Monday reported 1,146 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 668 recoveries. One death was also reported.
As many as 85,643 new Covid-19 tests were carried out in the country, taking the total to over 14.22 million tests so far.
Globally, coronavirus infections exceeded 50 million on Sunday, according to a Reuters tally, with a second wave of the virus in the past 30 days accounting for a quarter of the total.
October was the worst month for the pandemic so far, with the US becoming the first country to report more than 100,000 daily cases. A surge in Europe contributed to the rise.
The latest seven-day average shows global daily infections are rising by more than 540,000. More than 1.25 million people have died from the respiratory disease that emerged in China late last year.
The pandemic’s recent acceleration has been ferocious. It took 32 days for the number of cases to rise from 30 million to 40 million. It took just 21 days to add another 10 million.
Europe, with about 12 million cases, is the worst-affected region, overtaking Latin America. Europe accounts for 24 per cent of Covid-19 deaths.
The region is logging about one million new infections every three days or so, according to a Reuters analysis.
