- South Korea is imposing stricter coronavirus measures to prevent its third wave COVID-19 infections from getting out of hand.
- Korea registered more than 600 cases for two days in a row and fears it would reach 900 daily infections by next week without more restrictions.
- The US reported 227,885 new cases on Friday, the new worldwide record for the pandemic.
The US had its worse coronavirus day on Friday when 227,885 new cases were registered. A day earlier, the daily death toll hit 2,879, a new record for the country. More than 100,000 people are hospitalized, with hundreds of thousands battling the illness at home. Health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci fear that the worse is yet to come as the effects of Thanksgiving travel and get-togethers are only starting to appear in statistics. The upcoming holidays might drive up infections even further, as families celebrate Christmas and New Year’s.
227,885 daily cases translates to 9,495 cases every hour or 158 diagnoses per minute. South Korea is now taking more drastic measures to prevent the daily cases from reaching a figure the US hits every 6 minutes.
