A recent surge in coronavirus infections in Chile has sparked concern beyond its borders.

Chile has endured a sharp uptick in Covid infections in recent weeks, even with its world-renowned vaccine rollout and strict lockdowns in place.

Almost 40% of the South American country's total population have now received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, according toby Our World in Data, reflecting one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. Health Minister Enrique Paris on Thursday told reporters that he hoped the surge in daily cases had now climbed to its highest point.
