Coronavirus: One Million Dead Globally From Pandemic

Over one million people have now died from the coronavirus pandemic, with over 33 million cases worldwide.

So far 1,000,502 people have died according to Worldometer , which calculates the totals from sources including governments and NGOs across the globe.

The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Centre , which also collates worldwide totals, has a figure just shy of the million milestone at 995,352, but has a slightly longer lag time with its updates.

It comes after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticised the lack of joined-up thinking from countries around the world in fighting coronavirus , as he called on leaders to come together.
