The worldwide death toll from the coronavirus pandemic crossed 190,000 on Friday, with nearly two-thirds of the fatalities in Europe, according to an AFP tally compiled from official sources at 0740 GMT.
A total of 190,089 people have died and 2,698,733 been infected since the virus emerged in China in December. The hardest hit continent is Europe, with 116,221 deaths and 1,296,248 cases.
The country with the most deaths is the United States with 49,963, followed by Italy with 25,549, Spain with 22,157, France with 21,856 and Britain 18,738.
More than 2,675,050 declared cases have been registered in 193 countries and territories since the epidemic first emerged in China in December.
Of these cases, at least 708,400 are now considered recovered.
The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organisation, probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.
Many countries are testing only the most serious cases.
In the United States, the worst-hit country, the death toll stood at 47,178 with 856,209 infections. At least 77,963 patients have recovered.
Italy is the next most affected country with 25,549 deaths and 189,973 confirmed infections.
It is followed by Spain with 22,157 fatalities and 213,024 confirmed infections, France with 21,856 deaths and 158,183 infections and Britain with 18,738 deaths and 138,078 cases.
China — excluding Hong Kong and Macau —has to date declared 4,632 deaths and 82,798 cases, 10 of those since Wednesday, as well as 77,207 recoveries.
Europe has listed 1,293,822 cases and 115,990 deaths to date, the US and Canada together have 897,961 cases with 49,377 deaths, Asia 183,577 cases with 7,511 deaths, the Middle East 141,367 cases with 6,005 deaths, Latin America and the Caribbean 123,517 cases with 6,202 deaths, Africa 26,856 cases with 1,279 deaths and Oceania 7,950 cases with 98 deaths.
Equatorial Guinea became the latest country Wednesday to announce a first fatality.
