		</div><p>South Korea reported its highest number of new coronavirus infections in weeks on Wednesday and India reported another record single-day jump of more than 6,000 cases, as the pandemic expanded its grip across much of the globe.</p>
<p>Still, optimism over reopening economies from business shutdowns to fight the virus spurred a rally on Wall Street, even as the official US death toll approached 100,000.</p>
<p>Outbreaks are still climbing in much of the Americas, while many countries in Asia and much of Europe are making steady progress in containing the deadliest pandemic in a century.</p>
<p>New Zealand’s Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday that there were no Covid-19 patients under treatment in hospitals.</p>
<p>The nation took aggressive and early action to stop transmissions and has reported only 21 deaths. It has 21 active cases out of 1,504 confirmed and probable ones.</p>
<p>In South Korea, 40 newly confirmed cases — the biggest daily jump in nearly 50 days — raised alarm as millions of children were returning to school.</p>
<p>All but four of the new cases were in the densely populated Seoul region, where officials are scrambling to stop transmissions linked to nightclubs, karaoke rooms and an e-commerce warehouse.</p>
<p>South Korea has reported 269 deaths and 11,265 cases, after managing to contain a severe earlier outbreak.</p>
<p>Authorities were testing 3,600 employees of a local e-commerce giant, Coupang, after discovering dozens of coronavirus infections linked to workers at the company’s warehouse near Seoul.</p>
<p>India saw another record single-day jump, reporting 6,387 new cases on Wednesday, as the government prepared new guidelines for the next phase of a two-month-old national lockdown that is due to end on Sunday.</p>
<p>In the Americas, from Mexico to Chile, health officials were reporting surging coronavirus cases and overwhelmed hospitals.</p>
<p>Mexico’s health department reported 501 deaths from the coronavirus on Tuesday, a new one-day high, and 3,455 more infections.</p>
<p>Its daily death toll is approaching that of the US, at about 620.</p>
<p>Brazil currently leads in daily deaths with more than 800.</p>
<p>Authorities in Chile said their intensive care units were near full capacity, with about 4,000 new cases being confirmed daily.</p>
<p>“This is an extraordinarily difficult time,” health minister Jaime Mañalich said.</p>
<p>A US travel ban took effect on Tuesday for foreigners coming from Brazil, where President Jair Bolsonaro has raged against state and local leaders enforcing stay-at-home measures despite warnings that the outbreak is deepening.</p>
<p>Brazil has about 375,000 coronavirus infections — second only to the 1.6 million cases in the US — and has counted over 23,000 deaths, but many fear Brazil’s true toll is much higher.</p>
<p>Worldwide, the virus has infected nearly 5.6 million people and killed over 350,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.</p>
<p>Europe has recorded about 170,000 deaths, while the US has reported more than 98,900 in a span of less than four months, more than the number of Americans killed in the Vietnam and Korean wars combined.</p>
<p>The true death toll is widely believed to be significantly higher, with experts saying many victims died of the virus without ever being tested for it.</p>
