U.S. University of Johns Hopkins confirmed yesterday the number of coronavirus infections worldwide. The number has risen to more than 80 million since the pandemic began. Only about a month ago, on Nov. 25, the threshold of 60 million infections had been exceeded. The number of known deaths related to the virus now stands at 1.75 million.
Scientists assume high levels of unreported cases for both infections and deaths. University figures are updated regularly and are often slightly higher than official data. The World Health Organization (WHO) last reported the number of known infections at 78.6 million, and deaths at 1.74 million.
