Recorded global coronavirus cases surpass 5 million
The number of novel coronavirus cases declared worldwide breaks through five million, according to a tally by the Johns Hopkins University.
At least 5,014,943 cases, including 328,368 fatalities, are recorded.
Europe has been the hardest hit with 1,954,519 cases and 169,880 deaths, while the United States has 1,551,853 cases and 93,439 deaths.
The statistics represent only a fraction of the total of cases, with many countries testing only the most serious infections and many deaths going unregistered.
