GENEVA (AP) – The World Health Organization says the record levels of new daily COVID-19 cases worldwide may reflect the fact that the pandemic is now peaking in a number of big countries and demonstrate that the coronavirus has now become entrenched in some regions. Some countries, including the U.S. and India have attributed their rising caseloads to an increase in testing. But WHO’s emergencies chief dismissed that explanation Monday, pointing to a rise in hospital admissions and deaths in numerous countries. He said the coronavirus appeared to be peaking in numerous large countries including Brazil, the U.S. and India at the same time.
