MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The number of coronavirus cases confirmed all over the world has surpassed 35 million, while the global COVID-19 death toll stands at over 1,034,000 according to the latest data from the Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center.
As of 00:30 Moscow time on Monday (21:30 GMT on Sunday), there are 35,011,322 confirmed coronavirus cases in the world. The global death toll from COVID-19 stands at 1,034,865. The number of recovered individuals stands at 24,364,562.
The United States, India and Brazil are the top three countries in terms of the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases. The US also has the largest COVID-19 death toll of all the countries in the world.
About two months ago, the number of coronavirus cases confirmed globally surpassed 18 million, while the death toll was approaching 690,000. The number of recovered individuals stood at over 10,600,000.

The number of registered COVID-19 infection across Africa’s 54 nations has now surpassed the 1.5 million mark, according to the continent’s World Health Organisation chapter.
Sunday’s daily coronavirus update showed that 1,505,244 cases of infection have been registered since the beginning of the pandemic and led to 36,319 established fatalities.
South Africa accounts for about half of both metric, posting nearly 680,000 infections and 16,938 deaths.
Egypt has the highest number of cases in North Africa with 103,575 COVID-19 cases registered in total with just under 6,000 deaths.
In Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, just under 60,000 people have tested positive for the virus and 1,113 have died.
As a whole, Africa's epidemiological situation has so far fallen short of the dire predictions posited at the beginning of the pandemic. Experts are studying why this is, given the continent's gargantuan population of over 1.2 billion people, with a relatively young and more rural population, less interconnectivity with the rest of the world and a lower testing capacity seen as the main possible explanations. The economic impact of the pandemic on the impoverished continent remains a cause for concern.

The overall coronavirus situation in the Russian capital has stabilized, although hospitals are seeing an uptick in the number of COVID-19 patients, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on Sunday.
"We see how actively our hospitals are being loaded, the situation has somewhat stabilized, but the number of [hospitalized] patients is still slowly but surely approaching a thousand people a day, many of them are seriously ill," Sobyanin said in an interview with the Russia-1 broadcaster.
The Moscow mayor added that the city authorities were not yet planning to convert regular hospitals into specialized COVID-19 facilities.
"We have backup mobile hospitals for this situation, so we are not going to convert hospitals. However, certain [hospital] buildings are reserved for that," Sobyanin said.
