A tally compiled by Johns Hopkins University registered the grim milestone Sunday, after India and Russia added thousands of new cases. The United States has confirmed more than 2.5 million infections, the most in the world.
Globally, the Hopkins tally has reported nearly 500,000 deaths.
While Hopkins reports only confirmed coronavirus cases, experts believe the true number of people who have been infected could be as much as 10 times that figure, given that so many people can’t get tested or may have the virus without showing any symptoms.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— China virus cases stabilize as Italy sees drop in deaths
— What to wear: Feds’ mixed messages on masks sow confusion
— Nurses, doctors feel strain as virus races through Arizona
— Vice President Mike Pence has called off campaign events in Florida and Arizona for this coming week as the states experience a surge in new coronavirus cases. The White House says Pence will still travel to those states to meet with their governors and health teams.
— European Union envoys are close to finalizing a list of countries whose citizens will be allowed back into Europe once it begins lifting coronavirus-linked restrictions. The United States appears almost certain not to make the list, as new infections surge and given that President Donald Trump has imposed a ban on European travelers.
— New Delhi’s acting health minister says the Indian capital is facing a shortage of “trained and experienced” health care workers.
