Time Period Covered July 06, 2020 - July 06, 2020
- Worldwide, there have been more than 11.4 million cases, and over 534,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), member nations recorded at least 212,000 new COVID-19 cases on July 4, the highest single-day total increase since the beginning of the pandemic.
- WHO has accepted the recommendation from the Solidarity Trial’s International Steering Committee to discontinue the trial’s hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir treatment arms for COVID-19. The International Steering Committee formulated the recommendation in light of the evidence for hydroxychloroquine vs standard-of-care and for lopinavir/ritonavir vs standardof-care from the Solidarity trial interim results, and from a review of the evidence from all trials presented at the 1-2 July WHO Summit on COVID-19 research and innovation. These interim trial results show that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patients when compared to standard of care. Solidarity trial investigators will interrupt the trials with immediate effect. This decision applies only to the conduct of the Solidarity trial in hospitalized patients and does not affect the possible evaluation in other studies of hydroxychloroquine or lopinavir/ritonavir in non-hospitalized patients or as preor post-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19. The interim Solidarity results are now being readied for peer-reviewed publication.
- Indonesia’s Health Ministry has announced last July 5 that 82 people died of COVID-19, the highest reported death toll in a day so far since the outbreak in the country started, bringing the official death toll up to 3,171. East Java remains the province with the highest number of COVID-19 deaths with 1,020 deaths. With 63,749 confirmed COVID-19 cases and a total of 3,171 deaths as of July 5, Indonesia remains the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases and the highest death toll among ASEAN Member States
