The health ministry reported 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths on Wednesday, underscoring the scale of the outbreak as authorities confront continued transmission. The figures place the crisis above other prominent international developments, including renewed Russia-Ukraine talks and the opening of the UN climate conference, because of its immediate humanitarian and cross-border public-health implications.
