By 31 August 2020, six of the ten countries with the highest number of reported cases globally are located in the Americas, although currently trends are decreasing in terms of both cases and deaths. This report updates an earlier version on PAHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was published in June 2020. It documents PAHO’s efforts from the earliest days of the pandemic, when the Organization rapidly mobilized its experts, shipped in procuring these goods to support national efforts to combat the virus.

The number of cases and deaths, while still dwarfing other regions, are on a gradual decline in many countries in the Region. However, cases are spiking in other countries that previously had seen relatively few cases once they had implemented strict public health measures Tags: response plan, SARS-CoV-2, Latin America, Caribbean Region, regional overview, Source: https://www.paho.org/en/file/73326/downl
