US, UK, Italy lead as global coronavirus death toll exceeds 300,000

The global death toll from the coronavirus pandemic climbed above 300,000 on Thursday, as the total confirmed cases stands a little above 4.4 million, data from worldometer has shown.

As countries gradually ease their earlier imposed lockdown restrictions to combat the virus, the infection figures continue to take upward turn in some countries despite the efforts by both the world health body, WHO, and other bodies. In a similar development, the United Kingdom has overtaken Spain, Italy, and France as the country with the highest number of deaths linked to coronavirus in Europe.

Russia has also witnessed a sporadic rise to over 200,000 recorded cases even though its death toll is mild compared to the four countries above. The country has a little above 2,000 deaths linked to the disease.Between February 14 when Africa confirmed its first case of COVID-19 in Algeria and May 14, over 2,500 death cases have been reported. This leaves the continent as the least affected area after Oceania which has a far lesser population density.
