Confirmed coronavirus cases across the world on Saturday surpassed 17 lakh and the death toll continued to surge as more people lost their lives from the deadly Covid-19. So far, three months later the first death from coronavirus was reported in China, a total of 108,702 people have succumbed to the disease, according to the tally kept by Johns Hopkins University.
As Asia in January, Europe in March and then the United States became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, nearly half of humanity was forced into lockdown. Despite some stringent confinement measures imposed by the countries across the globe to contain/eliminate the spread of Covid-19, the number of daily deaths due to coronavirus has continued to surge.
The United States, which has become the outbreak's center of gravity after China and Italy, on Saturday eclipsed the total number of cases in Italy and Spain as the country's confirmed cases reached 527,111 and deaths surpassed 20,000, that's world's highest death toll.
