Global COVID-19 has infected a cumulative total of 164.8 million people, and nearly 3.42 million are untreated.

Converged official data show that as of 10:00 GMT 20 (6:00 p.m. Taiwan 20), at least 3,410,488 people worldwide have died from 2019 viral disease (COVID-19), with at least 164.8 million 5,270 cases confirmed.

The vast majority of those infected have recovered from the outbreak to date in China in December 2019. However, some people continue to feel symptoms for weeks or even months after recovery.

The above figures are based on daily statistics provided by national health authorities, but do not include subsequent re-estimates provided by the statistical units of three countries: Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom. The cumulative number of confirmed cases is only a fraction of the actual number of people infected, as many mildly ill or asymptomatic patients remain undetected.
