[SMM Global epidemic data tracking] the total number of confirmed cases worldwide is approaching 3 million, and the number of confirmed cases in the United States is approaching 1 million! Thousands of people in Chicago have a party in defiance of the epid

On April 26, 74700 new cases were confirmed worldwide. As of 15:00 on 27 April, a total of 2.99 million cases had been confirmed worldwide, which is about to exceed 3 million cases.

In Europe, where earlier outbreaks occurred in Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and Germany, the situation has gradually eased, and Spanish government spokesman Monteiro said Spain had passed the "most difficult period." However, the outbreak in Russia was relatively late, and the number of new confirmed cases reached a record high on the 26th, and the situation is not optimistic. On the Asian side, Turkey, as the country with the highest cumulative number of confirmed cases in Asia, has begun to slow down the epidemic situation, adding six consecutive declines in a single day. Turkey's health minister says Istanbul, the center of the outbreak, is now under control.

While the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide is approaching 3 million, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has also approached 1 million.

29000 new cases were confirmed in the United States on the 26th, and the number of new cases has been maintained at 20, 000 to 40, 000 for more than 20 days in a row. As of 15:00 on 27 April, a total of 987000 cases had been confirmed and 55000 deaths had been confirmed in the United States. The United States has the largest number of confirmed cases in the world, nearly double the number of confirmed cases in Asia, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the total number of confirmed cases in the world, and the severity of the epidemic is far more severe than that of other countries.

But even if the epidemic is grim, there was chaos in Chicago on April 26th that about 1000 people ignored the "home isolation order", did not wear masks and crowded into apartments on the west side of Chicago for a party. If the local people are unable to effectively cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention policy, the inflection point of the epidemic in the United States may be postponed.

Peru sees 1 million t/y copper output boost within five to six years
Peru's Energy and Mines Minister Guillermo Shinno said the country expects to add about 1 million tonnes of annual copper production within five to six years through new mining projects. The world's third-largest copper producer anticipates 2026 output of 2.5 to 2.7 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from 2023 as declining ore grades and recurring social conflicts weigh on supply. The newly elected government is seeking to reverse that stagnation by cutting red tape; in the two months since taking office, mining companies have stepped up engagement with the ministry. Shinno said officials have identified 27 permits that could be eliminated from roughly 100 mining-sector requirements, without lowering environmenta

BHP-Amazon copper EAC pilot draws mining-sector interest in lower-carbon labelling
Spanish-language mining media report that BHP and Amazon have rolled out the first lower-emissions copper pilot at Escondida using Environmental Attribute Certificates, certifying emissions reductions within the mining setting rather than offsetting them elsewhere. Unveiled on 22 September 2026, the pilot leverages Escondida's renewable electricity and desalinated water, with Amazon retiring the certificates to match lower-carbon attributes to its AI infrastructure. Escondida produces about 1.2 million tonnes of copper annually as the world's largest mine, and the label is expected to serve growing demand for low-carbon metal procurement.
