As the number of global coronavirus cases continue to rise, health experts fear a fresh Covid-19 surge as economies and states reopen more aggressively. The number of infections has topped 8.5 million with over 460,000 fatalities.
The United States continues to be the worst affected with over 2.2 million cases and 119,112 fatalities. In hospitals where there are a surge in cases, health professionals have started prescribing dexamethasone, which was recently found to reduce the coronavirus death rate.
Brazil’s cases, which are rapidly increasing, crossed the one million mark Saturday. It is the second-worst affected country.
