Coronavirus Infections Pass 200,000 Globally
The number of confirmed coronavirus infections topped 200,000, more than doubling in two weeks, as countries escalated their response to the spread with travel restrictions, home quarantines and other limits on movement.
There were 203,529 confirmed cases of the disease known as Covid-19 early Wednesday, with infections outside of mainland China—where the epidemic began—now above 122,000, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Deaths globally have also more than doubled over the past two weeks to more than 8,000. In Europe, the death toll reached 3,415, overtaking China for the first time and cementing the continent’s position as the new epicenter of the pandemic.
Italy, the second worst-hit country after China, has seen infections top 31,500 and deaths reach 2,503. Scientists expect the number of fatalities in Italy to overtake those in China within days.
