Worldwide coronavirus cases pass 2 million

There have now been more than 2 million confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University.

Iran Press/America: The total number of coronavirus cases in the world has surpassed two million, according to the data compiled by the Johns Hopkins University.

COVID-19 has infected more than 2 million people and killed at least 129,045 worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. 

Even as some European countries, including Germany, hopeful that the worst is behind them, begin to take careful steps to lift restrictions imposed to slow the virus, outbreaks in many parts of the world are still considered far from their peaks.

In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended a nationwide lockdown for nearly three more weeks, leaving more than one billion people under severe restrictions and urging Indians not to “let the guard down.”

In the United States, the lack of testing capacity has emerged as a signature failure of the Trump administration’s response and now threatens to hamper efforts across the country to plan for an eventual reopening of the economy.

Meanwhile, leaders from around the world criticized Trump’s decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization as the tally of coronavirus cases passed two million, with at least 126,000 deaths.
