The countries with the 10 greatest number of Covid-19 cases:

Diphtheria – Haiti
Haitian health officials have reported 20 confirmed diphtheria cases, including 4 deaths through the end of April this year.
Malaria/Plague – Madagascar
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that the number of malaria cases in the island country has risen in 2020 compared to 2019 numbers. Since the beginning of the year, malaria cases have increased with 663,558 cases recorded since January, including 398 deaths; compared to 402,385 cases in 2019 during the same period.
In some better news, after reporting huge numbers of measles cases in 2018 into 2019, measles cases have decreased with only 34 cases reported since January 2020. This is thanks to increased vaccination and surveillance efforts.
