Reports say the number of global coronavirus deaths has exceeded 1 million.
It was also gathered that cases recorded across the world have also passed 33.5 million.
According to analysts, the United States is the worst hit with over 7.3 million cases and 209,000 deaths.
Brazil has nearly 4.75 million cases, with 142,000 deaths, while there are more than 6.1 million cases in India and 96,000 fatalities.
On Tuesday, figures by Johns Hopkins University and Worldometers confirmed the 7-figure death toll.
The Coronavirus disease was first recorded in Wuhan, China, from where it now spread to other parts of the world.
President Donald Trump, in his pre-recorded video message, called COVID-19 the “China virus” for the umpteenth time, insisting that all counties must hold them accountable for, according to him, unleashing the plague onto the world.
Trump claimed that in the earliest days of the virus, China locked down travel domestically, while allowing flights to leave China and infect the world.
