The doubling rate of confirmed COVID-19 cases dropped to once every 21 days from a high of once every 7 days on April 1. As some countries experience stabilizing or declining national death tolls, it has prompted attempts to loosen lockdown measures. This includes France, Italy and Spain, three of the world’s hardest hit countries (accounting for 20% of cases and a third of all COVID-related deaths worldwide). Germany is begun to relax lockdown measures, as face masks have become mandatory in public. The National Health Service of the United Kingdom set out a six-week plan to ‘return to normal’ following projections that the U.K. has ‘likely survived the first wave’ of the pandemic and will get close to testing targets. Despite a record daily increase in confirmed cases,South Africa restarted some mining operations, as India has also begun to ease lockdown measures following a drop in reported


As some Asian-Pacific countries such as Singapore experience major outbreaks in the second wave of transmission, hospitals across Europe have raised concerns. The WHO noted that many states also do not have adequate testing capacity needed to support a safe reopening strategy that can detect, trace and isolate new COVID transmission. China has meanwhile provided a guide on how countries can prevent a second wave, including compulsory masks in public, fines for failure to exercise public hygiene practices, as well as public markings for social distancing lanes.


The LSHTM is gathering data on hundreds of intervention measures from around the world to determine factors contributing to disease outbreak as well as relative effectiveness of control strategies. For example, to date, Hong Kong’s swift surveillance, quarantine and social-distancing measures – such as the use of face masks and school closures – helped to cut Coronavirus transmission with only 4 deaths in a (urban) population of 7.5 million. The LSHTM platform is being developed to support the WHO’s technical support to member states, and includes more than 1,100 volunteers, multiple universities, public health organizations and non-profits, including ACAPS which analyses humanitarian crises.

Earlier today, China increased the number of COVID-related deaths in Wuhan by 50%, raising the country’s toll by 1,300 to 4,632. While the government claims this reflects updated hospital counts as well as those who died at home, the revision in the reported figures partially validates accusations of under-reporting, including by intelligence agencies. The broader challenge is that most models of the pandemic are based on prior figures from China and may need to be revised to reflect these significant adjustments.


In China, a cluster of cases linked to the Nigerian community in Guangzhou has also sparked alleged discrimination towards Africans by locals and virus prevention officials.


Asian-Pacific countries are beginning to experience second waves of infections, including Singapore which is reporting the highest case rate in the region (500 cases per million people). Despite these spikes, the “suppress and lift” strategy of aggressive testing, isolation, and contact tracing by countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong remains a model response and has helped prevent exponential spread.


In Iran, the number of reported cases and deaths approach 80,000 and 5,000, respectively. Fearing a protracted economic crisis, some “low-risk” businesses were allowed to open, prompting concerns of a second wave of infections. The government has asked for economic support and sanction relief from the IMF, which the U.S. has thus far blocked despite international pressure to sideline geopolitical tensions to allow countries to respond to the pandemic.


With 13,835 confirmed cases, India has become the third Asian country to surpass the 10,000 mark. Like in Pakistan (7,025) and Bangladesh (1,838), the true outbreak size is expected to be significantly higher in India due to varying testing and counting strategies. In India, the government has extended the nation-wide lockdown until May 3, while food shortages and a mass exodus from major urban areas has raised concern about local transmission in rural parts of the country. There are positive reports that some states like Kerala have managed to bend the curve by adopting “aggressive testing, contact tracing, and cooked meals.”

While China has virtually interrupted local transmission, it remains the fifth leading country with 81,620 confirmed cases and 3,322 reported deaths. Two thirds of new infections reported in China yesterday were asymptomatic, which has been concerning as authorities have taken steps to end the lockdown of Hubei province (with Wuhan remaining under lockdown until at least April 8).


The number of reported cases and deaths in Iran, meanwhile, keep rising to 53,183 and 3,294, respectively. There are no official lockdowns in Iran’s major cities, despite internal government estimates that mortality rates could be drastically limited to 7,700 instead of the projected “tens of thousands” of deaths by adopting ‘maximum’ interventions (e.g. banning movement inside cities, quarantines).


In South Korea 35% of confirmed cases within the last two weeks have been imported cases; more stringent control measures and monitoring have gone into effect as of today to deter incoming international travel. South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore have significantly slowed new case counts, with the focus shifting to the containment of imported cases.

Several Asian-Pacific countries have seen overnight changes or escalating reports: Thailand, Hong Kong, India, Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore.


South Korea has slowly decreased daily new case counts to around 100-150 since March 12, although they have reported an increase in imported cases.

The doubling rate of confirmed COVID-19 cases dropped to once every 21 days from a high of once every 7 days on April 1. As some countries experience stabilizing or declining national death tolls, it has prompted attempts to loosen lockdown measures. This includes France, Italy and Spain, three of the world’s hardest hit countries (accounting for 20% of cases and a third of all COVID-related deaths worldwide). Germany is begun to relax lockdown measures, as face masks have become mandatory in public. The National Health Service of the United Kingdom set out a six-week plan to ‘return to normal’ following projections that the U.K. has ‘likely survived the first wave’ of the pandemic and will get close to testing targets. Despite a record daily increase in confirmed cases,South Africa restarted some mining operations, as India has also begun to ease lockdown measures following a drop in reported


As some Asian-Pacific countries such as Singapore experience major outbreaks in the second wave of transmission, hospitals across Europe have raised concerns. The WHO noted that many states also do not have adequate testing capacity needed to support a safe reopening strategy that can detect, trace and isolate new COVID transmission. China has meanwhile provided a guide on how countries can prevent a second wave, including compulsory masks in public, fines for failure to exercise public hygiene practices, as well as public markings for social distancing lanes.


The LSHTM is gathering data on hundreds of intervention measures from around the world to determine factors contributing to disease outbreak as well as relative effectiveness of control strategies. For example, to date, Hong Kong’s swift surveillance, quarantine and social-distancing measures – such as the use of face masks and school closures – helped to cut Coronavirus transmission with only 4 deaths in a (urban) population of 7.5 million. The LSHTM platform is being developed to support the WHO’s technical support to member states, and includes more than 1,100 volunteers, multiple universities, public health organizations and non-profits, including ACAPS which analyses humanitarian crises.
