More than 75,500 people have died around the world, nearly three-quarters of them in Europe, since the virus emerged in China in December, according to official sources.
The pandemic has killed more than 53,928 people in Europe, including 16,523 in Italy, 13,798 in Spain, 8,911 in France and 5,373 in Britain. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is fighting the virus in intensive care after being diagnosed late last month.
The 55-year-old was admitted to intensive care on Monday evening and given oxygen support but was not put on a ventilator, a minister said. "The prime minister has been stable overnight and remains in good spirits," his official spokesman tells reporters.
