WASHINGTON: The number of confirmed global Covid cases reached 25 million on Sunday according to a tally maintained by Johns Hopkins University.
The United States of America leads the count with 5.9 million cases, followed by Brazil with 3.8 million and India with 3.5 million.
The real number of people infected by the virus around the world is believed to be much higher perhaps 10 times higher in the US, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention given testing limitations and the many mild cases that have gone unreported or unrecognised.
