Mexico posted its highest one-day total of newly confirmed coronavirus cases on Wednesday, with 27,944 infections and a near-record 1,623 confirmed deaths.

That brings the country’s total so far to just over 1.8 million cases and 153,639 deaths. However, Mexico has an extremely low rate of testing, and estimates of excess deaths suggest the real toll is over 195,000.
