Global coronavirus infections surpass 300M

The number of global COVID-19 cases climbed above 300 million during past the day with over 2 million new infections recorded on Thursday alone as the new Omicron variant of the virus continues surging across the world.

The grim milestone comes just a few months after the more-infectious Delta variant brought the global tally past the 200 million mark.

The US remains the nation with the highest tally worldwide, as over 59 million Americans contracted the disease since it first started spreading in December 2019 in China. India and Brazil hold second and third place, respectively, each confirming over 20 million infections to date.
