The death toll worldwide from the novel coronavirus surpassed 200,000 late Saturday, according to a running tally by US-based Johns Hopkins University.
The university’s data counted 200,698 deaths, while the number of cases and recoveries rose to 2,865,938 and 810,327, respectively.
The US continues to be the worst-hit country with 924,576 cases and nearly 53,000 fatalities.
Italy has the second-highest death toll at 26,384, while Spain has the second highest number of cases at 22,902.
