Europe became the second region after Latin America to surpass 250,000 deaths on Saturday, according to a Reuters tally, with record numbers of daily Covid_19 infections reported in the past two weeks.

Europe reported 200 000 daily infections for the first time on Thursday, as many Southern European countries this week reported their highest number of cases in a single day.

The United Kingdom, Italy, France, Russia, Belgium and Spain account for nearly two-thirds of about 250 000 deaths registered until now from a total of about 8 million cases across Europe. Based on last seven-days daily reported average deaths, Russia is reporting 250 deaths per day, Europe’s highest toll, followed by the United Kingdom and France with about 143 deaths each.

The average number of Covid-19 deaths reported each day in France has been increasing for 10 days straight, according to Reuters analysis.
