Data valid as at 23:45 GMT September 26th, 2020.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages.
16 new cases for Australia and 1 death so the CMR rises to 3.220% while active cases drop to 1,575. NSW recorded 1 case, Queensland recorded 3, WA recorded one case and the balance were in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 25.71 with metro at 22.1 (31 unknown) and regional at 0.6 and no unknown cases. The 106 cases for Victoria is 58% lower than the previous week and the 26 deaths is the lowest since late July. Victoria reported 16 new cases for the last 24 hours.

2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.365% and active cases rise to 61.

The UK had 6,041 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just under 59k new cases in the USA yesterday and 920 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.877% and active cases drop to 35.3% with the raw numbers rising slightly. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global new cases pass 33M with the last 1M coming up in 3 days and the (sad) milestone of 1M deaths will likely be passed in the coming 24 hours;
Global cases reached a new high of 317,951 on the 25th;
Europe recorded a new daily case high of 60,449;
The USA completes 103M, India 70M and Canada 7M tests;

Moldova (868), Lebanon (1,280), Poland (1,587) and the Ukraine (3,833)all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
