At least 1,675,362 people worldwide have died from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and at least 75,610,670 cases have been confirmed as of 11:00 GMT on the 19th, according to official data compiled by AFP.
The outbreak began in China last December and to date at least 48.14 million 8,100 people worldwide are thought to have recovered.
AFP collected data from national authorities and the World health Organization (WHO) to produce the statistics, but it is feared that this is only a fraction of the actual total number of infections, as many countries only detect cases with symptoms or the most severe symptoms.
On the 18th, the world reported 12,444 new deaths and 689,382 confirmed cases. According to the data, the countries with the highest number of new deaths were the United States (2,710 deaths), Brazil (823 deaths) and Mexico (762 deaths).
The United States remains the country with the most severe epidemic, with a total of 313,660 deaths and 17,465,147 confirmed cases.
Other countries with severe outbreaks include Brazil (185,650 deaths and 7,162,978 confirmed cases), India (145,136 deaths and 10,4599 confirmed cases), Mexico (117,249 deaths and 1,310,546 confirmed cases), and Italy (67,894 deaths and 1,921,778 confirmed cases).
According to the ratio of deaths to population, Belgium has the highest mortality rate, with 159 deaths per 100,000 people, followed by Italy (112), Peru (112), Slovenia (109), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (109).
