Coronavirus has infected more than one million cases, while over 53.000 people have died due to infection. Almost 210.000 people have recovered.
The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19 is affecting 200 countries and territories around the world.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses.
The US has the most cases, and about 1,000 died there in the past day. The disease, COVID-19, first emerged in central China three months ago.
Though the tally kept by Johns Hopkins records one million confirmed cases, the actual number is thought to be much higher. It took a month and a half for the first 100,000 cases to be registered. A million was reached after a doubling in cases over the past week.
Nearly a quarter of cases have been registered in the United States, while Europe accounts for around half.
