Sharjah24 – AFP: More than 100 million Covid-19 cases have now been recorded worldwide, according to an tally on Tuesday, as newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden pledged to ramp up the United States's struggling vaccine programme.
The number of cases, compiled from data provided by national health agencies, represents just a fraction of the real infections as the coronavirus has spread around the globe.
The United States, which passed 25 million confirmed cases last weekend, remains the country with the largest outbreak -- and the largest death toll of over 420,000.
In another day of grim milestones, Britain surged past 100,000 Covid-19 deaths, and other European nations looked to tighten their borders, hoping to keep out new, more transmissible virus strains.
