​The US appears to have passed the transmission peak, though more time is needed to monitor the situation, especially with phased opening up of the country.

For Russia, the daily confirmed cases have been increasing sharply over the past week.

Iran’s confirmed cases show a slight increase which might be as a result of the government’s decision to open up public places in certain regions of the country.
