Global Outlook
The novel coronavirus has killed at least 694,507
people since the outbreak emerged in China last December, according
to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at
1100 GMT on Tuesday.
At least 18,324,580 cases have been registered in 196 countries
and territories. Of these, at least 10,707,500 are now considered
recovered.
The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national
authorities and information from the World Health Organization
(WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of
infections.
