Abstract
Since the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and up to June 07, 2022, a cumulative total of approximately 530 million COVID-19 cases including about 6.3 million deaths were reported from all six WHO regions. During epidemiological week (EW) 22, cases increased in the regions of Europe (18.7%), the Americas (3.7%), and South-East Asia (1.2%) while they decreased in the remaining three WHO regions. COVID-19 deaths decreased in all WHO regions (range: -26.5 - -12.8%) except for the Western Pacific region (7.2% increase) compared to the previous week. Globally, approximately 3,113,507 new COVID-19 cases were reported in EW 22 (May 29, 2022- June 04, 2022) - a -8.2% decrease compared to EW 21 (May 22, 2022-May 28, 2022) (Figure 1). For the same period, 7,992 new COVID-19 deaths were reported globally – a -18.7% relative decrease compared to the previous week. In the region of the Americas, 1,124,932 cases and 3,304 deaths were reported in EW 22 - a 3.7% increase in cases and -21.8% decrease in deaths compared to the previous week. At the subregional level, COVID-19 cases increased in two subregions - South America (26.5%) and Central America (4.7%) while they decreased in North America (-4.4%) and the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean Islands (-5.7%). COVID-19 deaths declined in all but one subregion - Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean Islands (11.2%) during EW 22 compared to the previous week. The overall weekly case notification rate for the region of the Americas was 110 cases per 100,000 population during EW 22 (106.1 in the previous week). Between EW 22 and 21, the 14-day COVID-19 death rate was 7.4 deaths per 1 million population (7.7 in the previous two weeks). Among 33 countries/territories in the region with available data, COVID-19 hospitalizations increased in 20 countries and territories (range: 0.3% - 100%) during EW 22 compared to the previous week. Among 28 countries and territories with available data, COVID-19 ICU admissions increased in 15 countries and territories (range: 2.2% - 200%).
