Western European countries, which had successfully flattened the curve of COVID-19 infections, are now experiencing a surge of new cases. According to numbers by Johns Hopkins University, cases are growing quite rapidly again in Spain and France, where total case numbers of 350,000 and 250,000, respectively, have been surpassed. Germany and the UK have also visibly departed from a flat trajectory, while Italy has so far only seen a slight uptick.
Spain is still the tenth-most affected country by the coronavirus in term of case numbers. The UK has the 12th most confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide and also counted the the fifth-most deaths. The U.S. is currently the country with most known infections as well as deaths and also has a curve of infections which is once again pointing upwards. Infections have passed 5.5 million stateside.
