The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has doubled since May 16 (representational)
Paris:
More than nine million people have now been infected with the coronavirus worldwide, according to an AFP count based on official sources, as of Monday 1520 GMT.
More than half of the 9,000,091 cases are in Europe and the United States: Europe has recorded 2,537,451 and the United States 2,281,903.
The number of cases worldwide has doubled since May 16 and more than a million new cases have been registered in the past seven days. Official figures, however, only reflect a fraction of the actual number, as many countries only test for severe cases.
