Global Update
The novel coronavirus has killed at least 889,498 people
worldwide since the outbreak emerged in China last December,
according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 1100
GMT on Monday.
At least 27,172,460 cases of coronavirus have been
registered. Of these, at least 17,892,800 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.
Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious
cases.
On Sunday, 7,726 new deaths and 230,852 new cases were recorded
worldwide. Based on the latest reports, the countries with the most
new deaths were India with 1,016 new deaths, followed by Brazil
with 447 and the United States with 408.
