Europe has surpassed 150,000 daily coronavirus cases just a week after reporting 100,000 cases for the first time, according to a Reuters tally, with countries such as France, Germany reporting record daily numbers of infections this week.

Globally, cases rose by more than 400,000 for the first time late on Friday, a record one-day increase.

As a region, Europe is reporting more daily cases than India, Brazil and the United States combined. The increase is partly explained by far more testing than was done in the first wave of the pandemic.

The United Kingdom, France, Russia, Netherlands, Germany and Spain accounted for about half of Europe’s new cases this week, according to a Reuters tally.
