Australia remains the hotspot for the disease with an entire rugby team quarantined after a member tested positive. In the past two days covered by the reporting system, an additional 173 cases were reported bringing the total up to 1224 cases. Canada has a worrying 2446 cases, an increase of 331.
Chile's figures are particularly scary: out of a total of 1694 cases reported during what is rapidly becoming a crisis, 1283 have been within the past two days.
The Dominican Republic has almost doubled its tally in the same period, its new cases of 47 bringing the total to 91 and Panama has increased to 221 with a jump of 42 cases.
Japan has seen a jump of 75 cases to a total of 485.
But Mexico's figures are startling in another way: it has reported no new cases in the past two days. And, incredibly, nor has the USA which has by far the largest total number at more than 13200 and 27 deaths.
