Global epidemiological situation
In the past week, the global number of cases of COVID-19 has increased by 8% compared to the previous
week, totalling more than 3.6 million new cases, while new deaths have increased by 21% to over 54 000.
This brings the cumulative numbers to over 49.7 million reported cases and over 1.2 million deaths globally
since the start of the pandemic. The European Region continues to account for the greatest proportion of
new cases and deaths in the past 7 days, the Region reported over half (54%) of all new cases and nearly half
(47%) of new deaths. Although it still accounts for only 2% of the global total number of cases and deaths,
this week the Western Pacific Region showed the largest relative proportional increase in new cases (19%)
compared to the previous week followed by the Eastern Mediterranean Region (18%) and the European
region (11%). The three regions reporting the highest proportional increases in newly reported deaths in the
past 7 days compared to the previous week are Europe (44%), Africa (30%) and the Eastern Mediterranean
(23%). The Western Pacific Region was the only region to report a decrease in deaths (5%) this week
compared to the previous week.

Situation by WHO Region
African Region
The number of new cases continues to increase very gradually in the African Region, which reported nearly
34 000 new cases and 831 new deaths in the past week. The number of new deaths reported in the last 7
days was 30% higher than it was in the previous week, driven largely by increases seen in South Africa,
Kenya, and Uganda.
South Africa continues to report the highest number of new cases and deaths in the Region, accounting
for nearly a third of new cases and over half of new deaths. The number of new cases reported by
South Africa peaked mid-July, the height of winter, when there were more than 86 000 cases reported
weekly. By September, South Africa was reporting fewer than 15 000 cases per week, and in the past week
there were nearly 10 500 cases reported (176 new cases per million population). The number of deaths has
also fallen from over 1 500 deaths per week at the end of July and beginning of August, to 513 deaths
reported in the past week (although this is 55% higher than it was in the previous week). As of 31
October, five provinces reported over 80% of cases: Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape,
and Free State. The median age of COVID-19 cases in South Africa is 39 years, and 58% of cases are female.
The reason for this higher prevalence among females could be due to females being more represented in
certain occupations in education and health sectors where they may be at greater risk of infection, as well as
differences in health seeking behavior.
Kenya is reporting the second- highest number of weekly new cases in the African Region. The number of
new cases rose at the end of July, with 4 700 cases in the week beginning 27 July. The number of cases then
has risen considerably in October, rising from 1 000 new cases in the first week of October (28 September-4
October) to 6 577 cases (122 new cases per million) in the past week.

European Region
The number of new cases and deaths reported in the European Region continues to increase exponentially
with 11% and 44% more cases and deaths respectively in the past week compared to the previous week, a
record of weekly number of cases since the beginning of the epidemic. Moreover, test positivity rates have
been steadily increasing since August and have shown a marked escalation in recent weeks.
This week, the region recorded 54% of all new cases and 47% of all new deaths reported globally bringing
cumulative counts in the region to over 13 million cases and 311 000 deaths. Deaths have increased
markedly in the past 7 days with France, Spain and Italy reporting the highest counts of new deaths while
Czechia, Belgium and Slovenia reported the highest mortality rates per capita. Most of the Member States in
the European Region self-characterise their current transmission pattern as either community transmission
(55%, n=34) or clusters of cases (32%, n=20).
Over the past three weeks, Denmark has registered an increase in weekly incidence of COVID-19 cases
reaching almost 1 400 new cases per 1 million population (14% increase on the previous week). Since June
2020, 214 human cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Denmark with SARS-CoV-2 variants associated
with farmed minks, including 12 cases with a unique variant, reported on 5 November. In the past few days,
the Danish Prime Minister announced a planned cull of all mink in the country and imposed stricter public
health and social measures in the area where the variants associated with farmed mink have been detected
in humans.
This week, Spain became the country with the sixth highest number of COVID-19 cases globally, recording
over 2 000 new cases per 1 million population and bringing cumulative counts in the country to an excess of
1.3 million cases and almost 40 000 deaths. In the last weeks, the number of COVID-19 patients admitted to
hospital has increased steadily and as of 6 November, 6 of the 17 Autonomous Communities in Spain have
reached over 40% Intensive Care Unit (ICU) occupancy. Over the last week, a majority of outbreaks affecting
10 people or more in the country continue to be located in care homes for the elderly.

South-East Asia Region
The South-East Asia Region had observed a continued declining trend in new cases and deaths over the past
six weeks. However, in the past 7 days, almost 400 000 new cases (a weekly increase of 2%) and over 5 000
deaths (a weekly increase of 10%) were reported in the region. The countries reporting the highest numbers
of new cases in the South-East Asia region continue to be India, Indonesia and Nepal, while the highest
mortality rates were recorded in Nepal and Myanmar.
The only country in the region this week to report a substantial increase in new deaths has been Nepal. In
the past week, Nepal reported its highest weekly increase in the number of new deaths with 5 deaths per 1
million population (58% increase compared to the previous week). Moreover, in the past 7 days, Nepal had
the highest incidence of new cases per 1 million population (717 new cases per 1 million population) in the
region. On 5 November, Nepal reported over 400 cases in ICUs across the country. In the past week and for
the first time in seven months, the country reopened to those intending to climb or trek mountain trails.
While India is still reporting the highest number of new cases and deaths in the region, trends in these
numbers for the country have stabilized in the past week. Even though the country has reached a total of
over 9.5 million cases and almost 127 000 deaths cumulatively, in the past week, India recorded 230 new
cases and 3 deaths per 1 million population. The most affected regions in the country are Maharashtra,
Karnataka and Andra Pradesh while the regions with the highest number of active cases as of 8 November
are Maharashtra, Kerala and Delhi.
A stablisation in the incidence of cases and deaths has also been observed in Bangladesh in the past few
weeks recording less than 70 new cases and less than 1 death per 1 million population in the past week (11
000 cases and 126 new deaths). In Cox’s Bazar District, which hosts one of the world’s largest refugee
settlements, the incidence trends have remained relatively low since early July with a cumulative total of 5
255 COVID-19 cases reported as of 4 November 2020.

Western Pacific Region
The number of new cases reported in the last week in the Western Pacific (31 370) rose by the highest
percentage globally, with a 19% increase compared to the previous week. Despite this increase, the number
of new cases reported represents 1% of new cases reported globally last week. The number of new
deaths was 5% lower than the previous week. The Philippines, Malaysia, Japan and French Polynesia

new cases then dropped until the week of 21 September when just over 3 000 cases were
reported. However, it has since been rising, and there were 5 940 new cases reported in the past week
(a 29% increase from the previous week). Despite this increase last week, Japan reported 47 new cases per 1
million population, a relatively low number. Similarly, the number of new deaths in Japan remains very
low and decreased by 16% compared with the previous week to 46 deaths, with only 0.4 deaths per million
population.

Key weekly updates
• As health leaders gather virtually for the resumed 73rd session of the World Health Assembly, WHO has
three messages to share:
1. We can beat COVID-19 with science, solutions and solidarity:  many countries and cities have
successfully prevented or controlled transmission with a comprehensive, evidence-based approach
2. We must not backslide on our critical health goals: health is the foundation of social, economic and
political stability
3. We must prepare for the next pandemic now: countries with robust health emergency preparedness
infrastructure have been able to act quickly to contain and control the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
• WHO has published the following documents:
o An update to the guidance on critical preparedness, readiness and response actions, including further
subclassifications of transmission scenarios within the community transmission category; and updated
guidance on contact tracing, laboratory testing, infection prevention and control, public health and
social measures and health services.
o An update to the guidance on considerations for implementing and adjusting public health and social
measures (PHSM) in the context of COVID-19. PHSM are being implemented and adjused across the
globe to limit transmission and reduce mortality and morbidity from COVID-19.
o An update to guidance on health facility assessments, to inform the prioritization of actions and
decision-making at health facility, subnational and national levels.
o The Terms of References for a WHO-convened Global Study of the Origins of SARS-CoV-2. This outlines
two phases of studies: Short term studies (Phase 1) will be conducted to better understand how the
virus might have started circulating in Wuhan, China. Building on the findings of these short-term
studies, and the scientific literature, longer term studies will be developed (Phase 2).
o A policy brief on readiness for influenza during the COVID-19 pandemic, which provides a concise
summary of information and considerations for key issues policymakers may face. The document also
includes links to relevant guidance and resources for monitoring the situation, preventing seasonal
influenza, reducing severe complications and mortality, protecting specific populations, and
communicating to and engaging with the public.
• UNICEF and the World Health Organization issued an urgent call to action to avert major measles and
polio epidemics as COVID-19 continues to disrupt immunization services worldwide, leaving millions of
vulnerable children at heightened risk of preventable childhood diseases. WHO estimates that $655
million US dollars is needed to address dangerous immunization gaps in children in non-Gavi eligible
countries.
• WHO and the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities have released a joint statement
on the need for improved global regulatory alignment on COVID-19 medicines and vaccines. Therapeutics
and vaccines against COVID-19 can only be rapidly approved if applications are supported by robust and
sound scientific evidence that allows medicine regulators to conclude on a positive benefit-risk balance
for these products.

Data, table and figure notes
Data presented are based on official laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 case and deaths reported to WHO by
country/territories/areas, largely based upon WHO case definitions and surveillance guidance. While steps
are taken to ensure accuracy and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change, and
caution must be taken when interpreting these data as several factors influence the counts presented, with
variable underestimation of true case and death incidence, and variable delays to reflecting these data at
global level. Case detection, inclusion criteria, testing strategies, reporting practices, and data cut-off and lag
times differ between countries/territories/areas. A small number of countries/territories/areas report
combined probable and laboratory-confirmed cases; efforts are underway to identify these for notation in
the data table. Differences are to be expected between information products published by WHO, national
public health authorities, and other sources.
Global totals include 741 cases and 13 deaths reported from international conveyances.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of any
opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or area or
of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and dashed lines
on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement. Countries,
territories and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are
endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not mentioned.
Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by initial capital
letters.
[1] All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security Council
resolution 1244 (1999). In the map, number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo (UNSCR 1244, 1999) have been
aggregated for visualization purposes.
i Transmission classification is based on a process of country/territory/area self-reporting. Classifications
are reviewed on a weekly basis and may be revised as new information becomes available. Differing
degrees of transmission may be present within countries/territories/areas; classification is based on the
highest category reported within a country/territory/area. Categories:
• No cases: with no confirmed cases;
• Sporadic cases: with one or more cases, imported or locally detected;
• Clusters of cases: experiencing cases, clustered in time, geographic location and/or by common
exposures;
• Community transmission: experiencing larger outbreaks of local transmission defined through an
assessment of factors including, but not limited to: large numbers of cases not linkable to transmission
chains; large numbers of cases from sentinel laboratory surveillance; and/or multiple unrelated clusters
in several areas of the country/territory/area;
• Pending: transmission classification has not been reported to WHO.

Due to public health authorities conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large numbers of
cases or deaths from their total counts, negative numbers may be displayed in the new cases/deaths
columns as appropriate. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to be
suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. See the log of major changes
and errata for details. Prior situation reports will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-todate data.
