Image: Fernando Llano/PA Images LATIN AMERICA AND the Caribbean surpassed Europe yesterday to become the region hardest-hit with coronavirus deaths, as India passed the milestone of two million infections.

India’s cases have doubled in three weeks, reaching two million yesterday following a record daily jump of more than 60,000 new infections. However, there have been some positive indicators in Africa, where health authorities warned against complacency amid hopes that the pandemic is peaking in some parts of the continent.

These vaccines, priced at a maximum of $3 per dose, would be produced at the Serum Institute of India. More than half the region’s infections, some 2.9 million, are in Brazil, which has also recorded 98,500 deaths among its 212 million people.
