Number of worldwide coronavirus fatalities climbs to 58,433

The worldwide number of officially confirmed fatalities from the novel coronavirus rose to 58,433, according to a tally compiled by from official sources.

More than 1,087,569 declared cases have been registered in 188 countries and territories since the epidemic first emerged in China in December. Of these cases, at least 228,001 are now considered recovered.

The tallies, using data collected 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 only testing cases that require hospitalization.
