Coronavirus deaths exceed 300, 000 globally
The number of confirmed fatalities from coronavirus so far across the world reached 300,000 Thursday.
According to worldometer.info, more than 4.4 million infections have been recorded, leading to the death of 303,438 as of the time of reporting.
Meanwhile, the true number of infections and fatalities could be far higher, giving the varied ways in which countries conduct tests and report COVID-19, the CNN reported.
Experts believe the death toll might even be twice the current figure as many people die without being tested.
Countries have continued to report inadequate testing kits for potential patients of COVID-19, a strain of coronavirus which has continued to defy science.
Nonetheless, the soaring death toll captures a world brought to a halt by a virus that paralysed the global economy with governments scrambling to reopen to avoid further crises.
It came as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the virus “may never go away” with United Nations Human Rights Commissioner, Michelle Bachelet, cautioning countries against the lifting of lockdowns imposed to contain the spread of the disease.
Nigeria is one of the countries that have replaced its total lockdown with a dusk to dawn curfew (8 pm to 6 am) nationwide.
But since easing the lockdown about a week ago, Nigeria’s coronavirus cases and resultant deaths have continued to increase, surpassing 5,000 cases on Thursday as world powers, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany and Russia still struggle to contain the contagion
