The world has passed the grim threshold of 4.5 million Covid-19 deaths, according to an AFP tally on Monday, as the virulent Delta variant wreaks havoc globally.

Since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, the virus has killed a total of 4,500,620 people, the tally of official sources revealed.

But the figure is much higher than at the start of July when some 7,800 daily deaths were registered. Back in January, it had registered as many as 3,380 deaths per day, a figure that had dropped to just 200 by early summer.
