Washington, June 17 (RHC)-- The World Health Organization's regional director for the Americas, Carissa Etienne, has said the pandemic is still accelerating as the region is fast approaching four million coronavirus cases.

Speaking in a virtual briefing from Washington-based Pan American Health Organization, Etienne said Brazil accounts for 23 percent of the more than 3.8 million cases in the Americas and 23 percent of the almost 204,000 deaths in the region and "we are not seeing transmission slowing down."
