Corona Virus Has Killed more than 1 Million People Since the Outbreak

Paris, Dec 19 (AFP/APP): The novel coronavirus has killed at least 1,675,362 people since the outbreak emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 1100 GMT on Saturday.

At least 75,611,670 cases have been registered. Of these, at least 48,148,100 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.
