Almost 1.3 per cent of the world’s population has now been infected with Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, and more than 2.1 million people have died. It took the world 11 months to record the first 50 million cases of the pandemic, compared to just three months for cases to double to 100 million.
