BRASILIA, Dec 2 (Reuters) - COVID-19 deaths in the Americas have increased nearly 30% in November compared to the end of October, while North America seeing record-setting daily cases registered, World Health Organization regional director Carissa Etienne said Wednesday.
Hospitalizations in the United States are at their highest since the onset of the pandemic, and in Canada COVID-19 is spreading to indigenous communities in remote areas such as the Yukon and Nunavut, Etienne warned in a briefing.
