More than 150,000 people have now died around the world from the coronavirus pandemic, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
A total of 150,142 deaths were recorded by 1900 GMT on Friday, with almost two-thirds, or 96,721, in Europe.
The United States has the highest single toll, with 34,575 deaths, the data showed.
More than 2,207,730 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 193 countries and territories, according to figures collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The numbers probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections however, because many countries are testing only the most serious cases.
At least 483,000 cases are considered as having been cured.
