The number of registered coronavirus cases worldwide has exceeded 18 million, according to an AFP count from official sources at 2240 GMT on Sunday.
At least 18,011,763 cases have been reported as the pandemic infection rate continues to accelerate. One million more cases have been detected in the last four days.
More than half of the world's cases have been reported in the United States and in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
The United States is the most affected country with 4,657,693 cases, including 154,793 deaths, followed by Brazil, with 2,733,677 cases and 94,104 deaths.
The third most affected country is India, with 1,750,723 cases and 37,364 deaths.
Globally, there have been 687,941 deaths.
The counts, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.
