Global coronavirus death toll tops 200,000 fatalities – Reuters tally

The global death toll from the Covid-19 pandemic reached over 200,000 on Saturday, with confirmed cases expected to top three million in the coming days.

More than half of the worldwide fatalities have come from the United States, Spain and Italy. Eight percent of the cases in the United States have resulted in death, and 10 percent in Italy and Spain, according to a tally from Reuters based on government reports. 

It took 91 days for the global death toll to top 100,000, but only another 16 for it to move past 200,000

Confirmed cases stand at over 2.8 million, but that number is expected to quickly rise with testing becoming more available.

Over 800,000 people have reportedly had a full recovery from the virus.
