Brazil is struggling with a similar situation - here the increase is about 175 a day per million inhabitants.

Kyrgyzstan a few days ago reported over 10,000. new diagnosed infections. In Oman, Israel and South Africa, the daily gains are approximately 200 new confirmed cases per million inhabitants.

 According to Mariusz Gromada, the situation in Poland remains stable. In Poland, there are about nine new confirmed infections per million inhabitants daily. This is a very good result compared to the rest of the world and Europe. 

"The last few days, however, raise some anxiety, because in almost all voivodeships there is an increase in the number of cases. Most new confirmed infections come from the voivodeships: Śląskie, Mazowieckie and Małopolskie," the representative of Millennium Bank adds.
