Grim landmark of 5 million coronavirus cases reached worldwide
The number of people infected with coronavirus around the world has reached the grim landmark of five million, with most new cases now coming from the US, Russia, Brazil and India.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Thursday morning that a daily record of 106,000 new cases were recorded in the previous 24 hours, with two thirds of them coming from just those four countries.
The figure is the highest in a single day since the outbreak erupted in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December last year.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: "We still have a long way to go in this pandemic. We are very concerned about rising cases in low and middle-income countries."
