The World Health Organization (WHO) reported a record increase in global coronavirus cases for a second consecutive day on Friday.

The WHO reported an increase of 350-thousand-766 cases from around the world on Friday, replacing the previous record of 338-thousand-779 set on Thursday.

Nearly a third of the new cases came from Europe, with over 109-thousand new confirmed cases.

Michael Ryan, the executive director of the WHO's health emergencies program, said during a press briefing that although COVID-19 continues to spread worldwide, there are no new answers and that the majority of the people in the world are still susceptible to the virus.
