The cumulative total of Covid-19 cases surged by nearly 30 percent across the Americas in just one month, the Pan American Health Organization warned Wednesday, releasing figures for November.

A month later, the total had climbed by more than six million to 26.9 million.
That includes \"record-setting daily cases registered in North America,\" PAHO director Carissa Etienne said.
In the United States, Etienne said that more than 96,000 people are hospitalized -- \"the highest number since the onset of the pandemic.\"
The US is seeing more than 150,000 new cases a day and fears a coronavirus super-surge following extensive travel over the Thanksgiving holiday.

\"These continuing cases of COVD-19 are why we must act swiftly, especially in places where the caseload has not been controlled,\" Etienne said.
As the world inches closer to a vaccine, \"we must continue to rely on the public health measures that we can all take and that have helped to curb previous outbreaks: relying on stay-at-home measures, practicing social distancing and wearing masks.\"
She called for \"vigorous government action\" to ensure testing and efforts to isolate and quarantine patients.
\"We have the tools at our disposal, let's use them,\" Etienne said.

Somalia's immigration department has issued a directive stopping the issuance of visas to Kenyans on arrival in a bid to 'ensure security and improve immigration management,' state radio has reported. Radio Mogadishu published a letter from the immigration authorities, which asked all Kenyan passport holders travelling to Somalia to obtain visas from Somali embassies. It also advised diplomatic passport holders to seek approval from the Somali foreign affairs ministry. The directive takes effect on 13 December. Mogadishu said the decision was in line with its 'policy of ensuring security and improving immigration management to reduce the risks of Covid-19 infections'.
