Abstract
As of the end of the epidemiological week 37 (end date 18 September 2021), 228,068,334 confirmed cumulative cases of COVID-19 have been reported globally, including 4,685,658 deaths, for which the Region of the Americas contributed 38.6% of cases and 46.4% of deaths. The North America subregion accounted for the highest proportions of monthly cases (69%) and deaths (51%) in the month of August for the Region of the Americas. Although an overall decreasing trend in deaths is observed at the Regional level between July and August 2021, deaths have increased in all subregions except for South America, where a decline of 53% in deaths is noted. The North America and Caribbean subregions experienced the highest percent increases both in cases (172% and 54%, respectively) and deaths (205% and 61%, respectively) compared to those reported in July 2021.
