Global Update –
The novel coronavirus has killed at least 2,140,687 people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 1100 GMT on Tuesday.
At least 99,631,810 cases of coronavirus have been registered. Of these, at least 60,485,100 are now considered recovered.
These figures are based on daily tolls provided by health authorities in each country and exclude later re-evaluations by statistical organisations, as has happened in Russia, Spain and Britain.
