New York (HRNW) The number of novel coronavirus infections around the world passed 15 million Wednesday, with Latin America and the Caribbean, one of the hardest-hit regions, notching more than four million cases.
In the United States, home to over a quarter of global infections, President Donald Trump warned that the pandemic was likely to get worse before it gets better.
The US data makes grim reading, with more than 143,000 fatalities and regular daily death tolls of more than 1,000.
Trump has been a critic of lockdown measures and has argued in favour of reopening the economy even as death tolls have climbed.
