A survey carried out by Our World In Data pointed to a new record of Covid-19 cases in the world. The January 3 figures point to 2.4 million coronavirus infections in 24 hours.
Until then, the record had been registered on December 30, 2021, with 1.95 million cases.
If the cases of infections break records, the number of deaths registers a level much lower than the most critical moment of the pandemic.
On January 3rd, 5,845 people died of complications related to Covid-19 worldwide. On January 26, 2021, when there was a record of deaths from Covid in the world, the number of deaths in 24 hours was 17,442.
The United States registered more than 1 million cases in just one day, tripling the cases detected at the end of last year. On December 28, the United States registered 300,000 new infections.
Brazil registered about 11 thousand new cases in the survey by Our World In Data on the day the world registered a record of new cases.
Since the beginning of coronavirus cases, in March 2019, until the last day of 2021, the country had reached the mark of 619,056 deaths and more than 22 million infections by SARS-CoV-2.
Covid-19 cases caused by the Ômicron variant may peak in January in Brazil, after the year-end crowds, according to Marcelo Otsuka, infectious diseases specialist, pediatrician and member of the Pediatric Infectology Department of the Brazilian Society of Infectology, who spoke The CNN.
