| SpokenTruth said: 5/11 Charts: Everybody had a good day except Russia and Saudi Arabia (both at record cases). Even the US, UK and Brazil had a good day. Even better is that Mauritius, Western Sahara and Saint Pierre Miquelon have all joined the No Active Cases chart. Let's see if this trend plays out through the rest of the week or if it is just the Monday reporting lag. I've also widened the columns a little to make the scales a little easier to see. I may have to come up with a new display method or completely separate the US out since it's overshadowing everything else.

The power of mother's day was felt world wide.
A lot of countries report for the previous day which was all tallies made on Mother's day. The rest process the tests taken in the weekend. The first group still presents lower numbers today for processing tests taken on Mother's day.
Russia seems to have reached a test plateau again, yet Spain, Belgium and Sweden are up week over week (weekly increase of 150%, 115% and 117%) Spain and Belgium might be temporary outliers, Sweden had a more steady increase but is currently heading back to decrease.
Nanavut turns out to still be spared the virus. The one case reported there turned out to be a false positive. They still live with social distancing measures despite there being no cases there.

“All of our schools are closed, including daycares. The stores are open, but they have put in some measures of two-metre distancing at the tills and that includes splashguards for their employees,” Bell said in an interview with CTV News’ Your Morning on Monday.
Another key measure Bell cited was the travel ban put in place on March 24 that only permits residents and essential workers to enter the territory. Anyone approved to travel into Nunavut must undergo a mandatory 14-day isolation period beforehand in either Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton or Yellowknife.
The fact that most of Nunavut’s 25 communities are geographically isolated and are only accessible by plane or boat may help explain why the territory still hasn’t recorded a single case of COVID-19.
