More than 600 million cases coronavirus have been recorded worldwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Specifically, early Sunday morning it was announced that infections have reached 600,449,934 since the end of 2019when the virus also appeared in China.
The same time, deaths due to COVID-19 stood at 6,485,233.
The US, with 94,184,146 cases and 1,043,838 deaths due to the infection caused by the virus, remains the state in the world that has suffered by far the heaviest blow from the pandemic. They account for almost 16% of both cases and deaths. It is the first and only country to date that has surpassed 1 million deaths due to COVID-19.
India has the second highest number of cases (44,398,696), followed by France (34,662,834). Other countries with more than 20 million cases are Brazil, Germany, Britain, South Korea and Italy, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
Experts believe that the real toll of the victims of the new coronavirus pandemic worldwide is much heavier. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated earlier this year that the number of victims of the pandemic, directly or indirectly, is probably closer to 15 million dead.
