During epidemiological week (EW) 23, cases increased in four WHO regions (range: 0.6 – 33.4%) while they declined in the regions of Africa (-5.7%) and Western Pacific (- 8.1%). COVID-19 deaths increased in the regions of the Americas (19.4%) and Western Pacific (16.5%) while they decreased in the remaining four WHO regions (range: -31.9 - -11.3%). Globally, approximately 3,334,244 new COVID-19 cases were reported in epidemiological week (EW) 23 (June 05, 2022-June 11, 2022) - a 2.9% increase compared to EW 22 (May 29, 2022- June 04, 2022) (Figure 1). For the same period, 8,923 new COVID-19 deaths were reported globally – a 5.5% relative increase compared the previous week. In the region of the Americas, 1,269,855 cases and 4,069 deaths were reported in EW 23 - a 12% increase in cases and 19.4% increase in deaths compared to the previous week. At the subregional level, COVID-19 cases increased in all subregions (range: 3.7 – 20.3%) with the exception of Central America (-32.3%). COVID-19 deaths increased in two subregions – North America (20%) and South America (33.6%). The overall weekly case notification rate for the region of the Americas was 125 cases per 100,000 population during EW 23 (110.5 the previous week). Between EW 23 and 22, the 14-day COVID-19 death rate was 7.3 deaths per 1 million population (7.5 the previous two weeks).
