Mexico Coronavirus Cases Top 1 Million as Official Death Toll Nears 100,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, confirmed coronavirus cases have topped 1 million - though
the true number of infections is likely many times higher. Mexico's
official COVID-19 death toll is nearing 100,000. Pakistan has banned
public rallies after a spike in COVID-19 cases. Russia turned an ice
rink into a temporary hospital as its cases reached a daily record of
nearly 23,000 new infections. Iran also reported its largest daily
increase, with over 13,000 confirmed cases.
