According to information obtained by AFP from official sources by 12.30 on Saturday, there were 10,003,942 infections and 498,779 deaths due to Covid-19 worldwide.
Europe remains the continent hardest hit by the pandemic, with 2,637,546 infections and 195,975 deaths. Meanwhile, the number of people infected in the United States has reached 2,519,323, of which 125,539 have died.
The number of new infections worldwide continues to rise, with more than a million infections registered in the last six days alone.
However, the agency’s data from statistics provided by governments and the World Health Organization (WHO) appear to reflect only a fraction of the true number of people infected, as in many countries analyzes are performed only in the most severe cases.
