Over 10 million coronavirus cases registered worldwide

AFP

The global number of deaths due to COVID-19 nears 500,000

PARIS, France – More than 10 million cases of the new coronavirus have been officially declared around the world, half of them in Europe and the United States, according to an Agence France-Presse (AFP) tally at 0930 GMT (5:30 pm Philippine time) on Sunday, June 28, based on official sources.

At least 10,003,942 infections, including 498,779 deaths, have been registered globally. 

Europe remains the hardest hit continent with 2,637,546 cases including 195,975 fatalities, while the United States has 2,510,323 infections including 125,539 deaths.

The rate of infections worldwide continues to rise, with one million new cases recorded in just 6 days.

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.

Many countries are testing only symptomatic or the most serious cases and some do not have the capacity to carry out widescale testing. – Rappler.com
