Coronavirus: At least 357,311 global deaths from Covid-19

Paris, France - At least 5,747,100 cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories.

The novel coronavirus has killed at least 357,311 people since the outbreak first emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 11pm UAE time on Thursday. 
At least 5,747,100 cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories. Of these, at least 2,296,900 are now considered recovered.
The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections. 
Many countries are testing only symptomatic cases or the most serious ones.

As a result of corrections by national authorities or late publication of data, the figures updated over the past 24 hours may not correspond exactly to the previous day's tallies.
