The number of people who have died from the coronavirus has passed the 100,000 mark tonight. According to Worldometers, which collects death toll and case data from Government sources across the world, Covid-19 fatalities passed the 100,000 mark shortly after 5pm (GMT).
There has also been more than 1.6million confirmed cases of the coronavirus across the globe, although the true number of infected is likely to be much higher.
Around 360,000 globally have now recovered from the disease. While few infections were confirmed in the US in February and March - when the coronavirus was coursing through Europe - the total there is now three times that of any other country.
