"전세계 코로나19 확진자 700만명 넘어…사망은 40만명"
The total number of cases worldwide of the coronavirus have topped 7 million as of Saturday, according to a tally by Reuters, as numbers surge in Brazil and India.
The number of deaths is approaching 400-thousand.
Almost a third of the cases worldwide are in the United States, as are about a fourth of the fatalities.
Deaths are rapidly rising in Brazil, which could overtake the UK as the country with the second-highest death toll.
Although the real numbers are believed to be higher, the number of fatalities linked to COVID-19 is now equal to the number of people who die annually from malaria, one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases.
