Covid 19

Current global picture

In the week of 14–20 July 2025, 49,598 samples were tested across 85 countries, with 1,829 positives (3.7%), indicating generally low but heterogeneous SARS‑CoV‑2 activity worldwide.

Over the 28 days from 23 June to 20 July 2025, 90 countries reported 90,333 new cases, a decrease from the prior 28-day period; 31 countries still showed >10% rises, underscoring localized upticks.

In the same 28-day window, 41 countries reported 858 deaths, down from 1,206 in the previous 28 days; 87% of deaths with age data in June 2025 occurred in people aged 65+.

WHO notes many countries have reduced or shifted to weekly reporting; figures reflect reported data and can change with retrospective updates.

Variants and virologic trends

WHO is tracking VOI JN.1 and multiple Variants Under Monitoring; as of week ending 20 July 2025, XFG accounted for 48% of sequences and NB.1.8.1 for 35% globally, with no evidence these pose added public health risk versus other circulating variants.

Hospitalizations and severity

From 23 June to 20 July 2025, 5,516 hospitalizations and 176 ICU admissions were reported from subsets of countries, with some regions showing increasing trends, emphasizing ongoing monitoring needs especially for older populations.

How the data are compiled (WHO)

WHO statistics reflect reported, laboratory‑confirmed cases/deaths and are presented weekly to align with evolving national reporting practices; counts may be revised as countries correct or aggregate historical data.
