The number of people worldwide who have died with Covid-19 has passed one million, researchers say, with many regions still reporting surging numbers of new infections.
 
研究人员说,全球新冠肺炎死亡病例已超过100万例,许多地区报告的新增感染病例数量仍在激增。
 
The tally1 by Johns Hopkins University shows that deaths in the US, Brazil and India make up nearly half that total.
 
Experts caution that the true figure is probably much higher.
 
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called it a "mind-numbing" figure and "an agonising milestone2".
 
"Yet we must never lose sight of each and every individual life," he said in a video message.
 
"They were fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues. The pain has been multiplied by the savageness3 of this disease."
 
The pandemic has since spread to 188 countries with more than 32 million confirmed cases. Lockdowns and other measures to try to stop the virus spreading have thrown many economies into recession.
 
Meanwhile, efforts to develop an effective vaccine4 are continuing - although the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the death toll5 could hit two million before one is widely available.
 
The US has the world's highest death toll with about 205,000 fatalities6 followed by Brazil on 141,700 and India with 95,500 deaths.
