The total number of coronavirus cases in the world has surpassed two million and more than 137,000 people have died, according to data compiled by the Johns Hopkins University. The World Health Organization (WHO) Europe regional director Hans Kluge has called for solidarity as some countries ease restrictions. Cases have doubled on the continent in the last ten days, even as the rates of infections in the worst hit countries have levelled off, leading Kluge to warn that Europe is "in the eye of the storm".
