[WHO's COVID lead] Maria Van Kerkhnove highlighted that even basic reporting is failing. Of 234 countries and territories, WHO is now only getting case count data from 103 countries. Only 54 countries are reporting deaths, just 19 are reporting hospitalization rates, and 17 are reporting data on intensive care utilization.
"We don't have good visibility on the impact of COVID-19 around the world," she said.
