Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 6th, 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.

24 new cases for Australia and 1 death so the CMR climbs to 3.294% while active cases rise to 1,368. NSW recorded 11, and SA recorded 2 cases with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 11.64 with metro at 9.9 (12 unknown) and regional at 0.3 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 6 new cases for the last 24 hours.

3 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.346% and active cases rise to 43.

The UK had a much higher 14,542 new cases yesterday to set a new record for daily cases. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 71 deaths.

Just over 42k new cases in the USA yesterday and 421 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.800% and active cases drop to 33.5% with the raw numbers falling. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global cases pass 36M with the last 1M also taking 3 days;
Russia recorded their highest daily cases in almost 5 months;
It's relatively insignificant globally but Costa Rica passes 1k deaths;
Asia passes 11M cases;
The USA completes 113M, India 81M, UK 26M, Turkey 11M and Singapore 3M tests;

Angola (195), Bulgaria (436, the previous high on July 7th); Canada (2,804, the previous high on May 3rd); Iran (4,151) and the United Kingdom (14,542) recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.
