Coronavirus: Global death toll tops 750,000
More than three quarters of a million people have died across the globe as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic - Johns Hopkins University has reported.
The grim milestone comes just 46 days after half a million fatalities were recorded by the learning establishment, which puts the global total for cases as more than 20 million.
More than 40 per cent of the deaths are divided between three nations in the Americas - the USA, Brazil and Mexico - which rank first, second and third for total virus-related fatalities respectively.
The real global rate however is believed to be far higher, with each country deploying its own testing regimes and definitions to identify those who have died after contracting the virus.
