Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious cases.
On Sunday, 3,914 new deaths and 218,757 new cases were recorded worldwide. The countries with the most new deaths over the 24-period were India with 708, Brazil with 555, and the United States with 518.
The US is the worst-hit country with 146,935 deaths from 4,234,140 cases. At least 1,297,863 people have been declared recovered.
The next hardest-hit countries are Brazil with 87,004 deaths from 2,419,091 cases, Britain with 45,752 deaths from 299,426 cases, Mexico with 43,680 deaths from 390,516 cases, and Italy with 35,107 deaths from 246,118 cases.
China — excluding Hong Kong and Macau — has to date declared 83,891 cases (61 new since Sunday), including 4,634 deaths and 78,918 recoveries.
Europe overall has 208,082 deaths from 3,073,979 cases, Latin America and the Caribbean 184,168 deaths from 4,392,800 infections, and the United States and Canada 155,854 deaths from 4,348,051 cases.

As a result of corrections by national authorities or late publication of data, the figures updated over the past 24 hours may not correspond exactly to the previous day’s tallies.
