Global coronavirus death toll nears 200,000, as world leaders commit to finding vaccine
China recorded 10 straight days without any new deaths, as of Friday, its National Health Commission said.
Nearby South Korea too marked no deaths from COVID-19 for the last three days, while recording fewer than 30 new cases over the past two weeks, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.and Spain, beginning to ease social restrictions and others such as the U.K. — where hospital deaths from coronavirus hit 20,000 on Saturday — are still grappling with climbing death tolls.
In Italy, which has been the hardest-hit country in Europe, the country's Higher Health Institute suggested on Friday that the coronavirus epidemic may have started much earlier than previously thought in Lombardy and other parts of north — potentially in January, or earlier, officials said. Italy has lost almost 26,000 people to coronavirus so far, according to an NBC News tally, but leaders said the country was now entering phase two of the epidemic, with less stringent social distancing measures and a wider use of protective devices and testing in place.
