KABUL (Pajhwok): Worldwide Covid-19 cases have passed 150 million, according to an AFP tally.
Overall, 150.3m cases have been declared since the virus was first discovered in China in December 2019, according to an AFP compilation of official data.
Worldwide, the number of new daily infections has more than doubled since mid-February.
After the second wave from October to January, the figure had slowed to a little over 350,000 a day. It is now 821,000 a day.
The explosion in infections has been blamed in part on a new virus variant, but also on failure . . .
