Over 200,000 people worldwide have now died with the coronavirus, according to the tally of Johns Hopkins University.
There are more than 2.8 million confirmed cases of Covid-19, according to the tally.
It comes after the number of deaths in the US passed 50,000.
The UK’s Department of Health announced today that more than 20,000 people have now died with coronavirus in UK hospitals.
As the UK’s daily data does not include people who die at home or in nursing homes, the true figure is certain to be higher.
France, which does include deaths in care homes in its statistics, said its toll had risen by 369 on Saturday.
There have been 22,614 virus deaths in France since the start of March, but the country’s health officials say the mortality rate in hospitals is falling, and the number of people in intensive care has dropped for the seventeenth consecutive day.
