More than 12.5 million people in the US have been infected with coronavirus, and more than 262, 000 people have died. More than 3 million new cases were reported between November 1 and 22, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That’s about a quarter of all US cases since the beginning of this pandemic. The US has already seen more new Covid-19 cases than any other month of this entire pandemic. As of late last week, the number of daily new cases increased 25% compared to the previous week, according to Johns Hopkins data. And in 44 states, the percentage of positive tests is higher than the recommended 5% threshold.

A Covid-19 antibody therapy used to treat President Donald Trump was approved by the US drug regulator on Saturday for people who aren’t yet hospitalized by the disease but are at high risk. The green light for drug maker Regeneron came after REGEN-COV2, a combination of two lab-made antibodies, was shown to reduce Covid-19-related hospitalizations or emergency room visits in patients with underlying conditions.

India has recorded 44,404 new cases of the novel coronavirus, taking its total to 9.14 million, data from the health ministry showed. India has the second-highest number of infections in the world, after the United States, but the rate of increase in India has dipped since it hit a peak in September. New daily cases have come in at fewer than 50,000 for more than two weeks, according to a Reuters tally. Deaths rose by 511, according to the latest health ministry data, taking the total to 133,738.

Spain will begin a comprehensive coronavirus vaccination programme in January and expects to have covered a substantial part of the population within three months, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Sunday. He said Spain and Germany were the first European Union countries to have a complete vaccination plan in place. Spain has Western Europe’s second highest tally of confirmed coronavirus infections after France, with some 1.58 million cases and 46,619 deaths from COVID-19.

US, Germany and UK could start Covid vaccinations as early as December

As G20 leaders pledged to ensure the equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, drugs and tests so that poorer countries are not left out, the US, UK and Germany each announced plans to begin vaccinations in their countries in December, while Spain said it would start administering the vaccine to its citizens in January. Britain could give regulatory approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine as early as this week, even before the US authorizes it, the UK’s Telegraph newspaper reported on Sunday. Pfizer and BioNTech could secure emergency US and European authorisation for their Covid-19 vaccine next month after final trial results showed a 95% success rate and no serious side effects.
