WHO Reports Most Worldwide
COVID-19 Cases in a Single Day On May 20, the World Health Organization (WHO)
announced that there had been 106,000 new COVID-19
cases reported in the last 24 hours. That marks the largest single-day increase in worldwide
cases since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. According to Director General Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, two-thirds of the reported cases
came from just four countries. Although he didn’t specify which countries, he did
say the WHO was “very concerned about rising cases
in low and middle-income countries.” Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, via NBC Ghebreyesus’ colleague, Dr. Mike Ryan, also
pointed out that the world would soon hit the
“tragic milestone” of five million COVID-19 cases. President Donald Trump recently said
that he views the 1.57 million COVID-19
cases in the U.S. as a “badge of honor.” Donald Trump,
